A headhunter is a person or business that offers recruitment services for senior-level executives or particular job roles. Executive search is another name for headhunting. Despite being a form of recruitment, it is not like traditional recruiters. Organizations frequently use headhunters when they need to fill a specific employment post quickly and with a suitable applicant. Headhunters are typically contacted for urgent available openings. On the other hand, recruiters may be agents or staff members of a recruitment firm that uses a traditional hiring procedure without any sense of urgency. Headhunting is the practice of hiring people through headhunters.
