Typically, Headhunting is associated with companies looking to target Directorship or C-Suite Level (Chief Executive Officer Etc.) candidates to join their business. The process varies from the typical recruitment journey, as the position tends not to be advertised or promoted through normal channels, such as national or regional job boards and can be asked to be kept confidential using a Non-Disclosure Agreement.
The Headhunting process also goes into more detail, where an initial discovery meeting is arranged so that time can be spent with the owners, to get an understanding of the business goals & aspirations and to also see the culture first hand. This is paramount for a business to be accurately represented to the candidate market.
Within this meeting, a detailed job description is created to ensure that candidates with the right skillset and experience are identified and approached, as well as advice on the required salary and benefits package that will attract the right candidate to the business too. The selection process is handled in more detail and only the most qualified and suitable candidate’s will be shortlisted and sent to the business to be reviewed.
It is important that a company aligns themselves with a Recruitment Agency who is an expert within the market you are operating in, as they will have the ability to tap into the passive candidate market.
The passive market holds the candidates who are not actively advertising that they are open to opportunities and their CV’s will not be found on the job boards. A detailed knowledge of the market, your competitors, and people within it, is required to be able to identify and approach these candidates and actively engage with them.
