RECRUITMENT vs HEADHUNTING – WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

Recruitment agencies and headhunters are both involved in the process of sourcing and placing candidates in job positions, but there are differences in their approaches and focus. In summary, while both recruitment agencies and headhunters assist in connecting employers with candidates, recruitment agencies tend to focus on filling a variety of positions across industries, whereas headhunters specialise in finding top talent for specific, often high-level, roles.
HOW DO RECRUITERS COLLECT CANDIDATES?

Traditionally, recruiters will post jobs on behalf of clients onto their company web site as well as Job boards – think Indeed, CV Library and Monster as well as their social media pages and wait for applications. A recruiter will then filter out the applications into potential candidates for the employer. Often a Recruiter will post a non-existent job just to harvest Candidates in preparation for a job that they may be advertising later. This enables Recruiters to build a Candidate library that they will contact when a new job drops onto their desk.
HEADHUNTING, IS IT ETHICAL?

Dealer support headhunters operate with transparency and honesty, providing clear information to both candidates and employers about the nature of the recruitment process, the expectations, and the potential outcomes. We treat candidates with respect, dignity, and fairness throughout the recruitment process. This includes providing accurate information about the job and the organisation, respecting confidentiality, and not pressuring candidates into decisions they are not comfortable with.

Why use a Head Hunter?

Using a headhunter service for a recruitment agency can be beneficial for several reasons:

1.Access to Specialised Talent:

Headhunters often specialise in specific industries or job roles, giving
them access to a pool of highly qualified candidates that may not be easily found through traditional recruitment methods.

2.Time and Resource Efficiency:

Recruiting top talent can be time-consuming and resource-intensive.
Headhunters have the expertise and resources to efficiently identify, vet, and recruit candidates, saving you time and effort.

3.Confidential Searches:

In some cases, companies may prefer to keep their recruitment efforts confidential, especially when filling key executive positions or when replacing underperforming employees. Headhunters can conduct discreet searches to maintain confidentiality.

5.Negotiation Skills:

Headhunters often have deep insights into the job market, including salary trends, candidate expectations, and competitor analysis. This knowledge can be invaluable in attracting and retaining top talent.

6.Reduce Hiring Risks:

By thoroughly screening candidates and assessing their fit with the company culture and job requirements, headhunters can help minimise the risk of hiring the wrong person for the job.
Overall, utilising a headhunter service can enhance the recruitment agency's ability to meet your staffing needs effectively and efficiently.
