Headhunter Topics


Headhunter - who are they? 

Headhunters are experts who find and recommend top talents for job opportunities. Typically employed by recruitment agencies, they may have their talent pool for specific roles, or they may proactively seek out top talents by targeting employees who are hired by other companies, or known as passive candidates. According to an Aniday survey, 79% of the potential hires are this kind of candidate. 

Moreover, headhunters engage with potential candidates to understand their interests, qualifications, experiences, and expectations, then refer the best fit to the hiring managers. Headhunters are highly sought after when employers need to fill urgent positions and can’t find the right candidate on their own.

Understanding the dynamics of the headhunting market

The global executive search (headhunting) market is expected to reach around USD 34.24 billion by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 6.40% from 2024 to 2032. This surge highlights the vital role headhunters play in the recruitment process. Here are some key factors that drive the dynamics of this market: 

  • Firstly, globalization and market expansion:

Thanks to the rise of globalization, the executive search market has significantly expanded. Multinational companies now require top-tier leaders who comprehend diverse regulations, cultural nuances, and market dynamics. With the support of headhunters, your business can find executives adept at driving growth and managing complex international landscapes. Moreover, if your business involves cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&A) that often require leadership changes, it would further fuel the need for expert search services to facilitate smooth transitions across different regions. 

  • Secondly, talent shortages and succession planning:

The talent shortage is real, with businesses worldwide facing challenges in filling key positions. As experienced leaders retire, companies face the challenge of nurturing the next generation of leadership. While many candidates show great potential, they often lack some specific skills that employers are seeking. Despite advances in AI and technology, these tools have yet to fully address the critical gaps contributing to ongoing talent shortages.

Therefore, headhunters play a crucial role in this process, leveraging their extensive networks and expertise to discover and develop high-potential candidates. The growing focus on succession planning and talent development has spurred increased demand for headhunting services, as businesses invest in robust leadership pipelines to ensure long-term stability and operational continuity.

How can headhunters support businesses?

Headhunters provide a significant advantage in candidate evaluation for business. In general, headhunters can help businesses through:

Attracting passive candidates: 

One major advantage of using a headhunter is their ability to reach passive candidates who may not see the job advertisements. This expands the talent pool and increases the chances of finding certified higher-quality candidates. Although these individuals aren't actively job-hunting, they are open to the right opportunity. Headhunters use their networks and outreach skills to proactively find and engage them, helping employers minimize recruiting risks. 

Managing time, cost, and resources effectively: 

Headhunter simplifies the recruitment process by maintaining a vast database of highly qualified candidates. They bring extensive experience in evaluating and selecting candidates who match job requirements, streamlining the hiring process. This allows businesses to focus more on their core operations. 

Allocating the most suitable and high-quality candidates:

Headhunters possess a broad network of candidates they've previously engaged with, enabling them to swiftly pinpoint individuals who are a perfect fit for a particular role. Additionally, they can connect with passive candidates, those not actively job hunting but open to new opportunities.

Ensuring information security:

Some job roles are best kept confidential, making advertising difficult. A headhunter can conduct a discreet search campaign, allowing companies to attract qualified candidates without publicly posting the position.

How can headhunters support job seekers: 

Headhunters can also support candidates in job hunting thanks to their connection with employers. Acting as intermediaries, they facilitate successful matches between both sides. Here are aspects headhunter can help them:

Access to the hidden job market: 

A major challenge for job seekers is the lack of awareness about available job opportunities. Headhunters have access to an extensive network of employers and not publicly advertised openings. By connecting job seekers with these hidden opportunities, headhunters enhance their chances of finding the perfect job.

Shorten Application Process:

Job applications can be lengthy, particularly when customizing candidates’ resumes and cover letters for each position. Headhunters can simplify this process by aligning their skills and qualifications with the right job opportunities. They also offer valuable advice on enhancing their resume and cover letter to help them stand out from the competition.

Consulting and negotiating: 

Headhunters, with their deep industry knowledge, can offer crucial insights and guidance on how to present themselves as a top candidate. They can also help them identify any skill gaps and recommend ways to address them effectively. Beyond matching candidates to roles, headhunters offer essential advice on salary expectations and benefits, advocating on behalf of candidates to secure the most competitive compensation packages.

Expanding the network of job searchers:

Building a professional network can be tough, especially for industry newcomers or those relocating. Headhunters can connect job seekers with key industry professionals and decision-makers, opening doors to new opportunities and valuable connections.

The full process of finding and attracting talents 

  1. Client consultation: starts with a detailed consultation with the hiring organization to understand the role's requirements, including responsibilities, qualifications, and company culture. This forms the basis for a customized recruitment strategy.

  2. Market research and analysis: involves analyzing industry trends, competition, and talent availability to guide the headhunter's strategy. It helps identify potential top-tier candidates and understand the market context.

  3. Candidate personas: develop a detailed candidate profile based on insights gathered, outlining necessary skills, experience, and personal attributes. This profile acts as a benchmark throughout the search.

  4. Finding candidates: using their networks, industry knowledge, and targeted research, headhunters find potential candidates who match the client’s criteria, often including those not actively job-hunting.

  5. Initial approach: reach out to potential candidates discreetly, presenting the opportunity without revealing the client’s identity. 

  6. Candidate assessment: headhunters perform thorough evaluations through detailed interviews, skill assessments, and reference checks to assess each candidate’s fit for the role.

  7. Interviews: arrange and manage interviews between the client and selected candidates, handle logistics, gather feedback, and ensure clear communication. 

  8. Negotiation and Offer Stage: headhunters facilitate salary, benefits, and contract negotiations, to ensure a smooth process that meets the needs of both the candidate and the hiring organization.

  9. Closing the Deal: headhunters finalize the candidate's commitment by addressing any last concerns and ensuring a smooth transition into the new role.

  10. Follow-Up and Onboarding Support: Headhunters offer continued support during onboarding, including guidance, follow-up check-ins, and maintaining relationships for future opportunities.

How headhunters are paid? 

Headhunters are paid only when they successfully place a candidate in a job, as are many independent recruiters. Typically, their fee ranges from 20-30% of the new hire’s first-year salary. Since headhunters work on behalf of the employer, their primary motivation is to satisfy the employer’s needs. 

The headhunter’s annual salary can vary depending on experience, the industries of the hiring companies, and the employer’s location. According to Glassdoor, the average annual salary of a headhunter can be from $102,000 - $187,000. 

How to select the right headhunter, as a employer and job seeker? 

With numerous headhunters to choose from, finding the right one can feel overwhelming. To make the process easier, Aniday suggests focusing on these essential factors when selecting a headhunter:

For employers: 

1. Seek Particular Industry Experience

Headhunters and recruiters often handle placements across various industries. However, while they may possess the skills to attract top talent, a thorough understanding of your specific industry is crucial for finding the best fit. 

Instead of relying solely on search engine results, tap into your professional network. Reach out to colleagues and connections for recommendations. 

When you collaborate with Aniday, your job openings are entrusted to lead headhunters who specialize in your industry. This means you'll benefit from the deep knowledge and targeted expertise of professionals who truly understand your field, ensuring you find the perfect talent quickly and efficiently.

2. Experience is important when seeking senior roles

In today’s competitive job market, finding top talent is more challenging than ever. You should evaluate your headhunter’s expertise, recruitment strategies, and proven success in securing top candidates in advance. 

When assessing a headhunter's qualifications, Aniday suggests some critical questions to ask:

  • How often do you successfully place candidates?
  • What strategies do you use to attract top talent?
  • How would you present our company to a high-level executive?
  • What timeline can we expect for filling the position?
  • How many clients are you currently handling?
  • Do you offer a guarantee period?

3. Ensuring headhunters understand your company’s needs

Your headhunter's ability to truly understand your company’s values, culture, hiring needs, and team dynamics is crucial in finding the ideal candidate. You must communicate these expectations, ensuring that both of you are aligned and working towards the same goal.

For job seekers: 

Despite the many advantages of working with headhunters, many job seekers often struggle with where to find and connect with them. Here’s what you can do:

1. Seek referrals from your network  

Start your search by reaching out to professionals in your network for recommendations of headhunters they’ve successfully worked with. Even if your list is short, it’s fine—especially if you’re targeting a headhunter with expertise in a specific industry or niche market."

2. Explore networking sites  

Beyond a simple online search, you can discover headhunters on various networking platforms by using targeted keywords. These sites also allow you to ask other members for personal referrals, helping you connect with the right professionals.

As Southeast Asia's largest headhunter network with over 30,000 professionals, Aniday is the go-to site for connecting with top headhunters across the region. 

3. Join industry-specific trade groups or associations. 

Headhunters frequently participate in these organizations, making them great places to network and connect with professionals who specialize in your field. By becoming a member, you'll gain access to a list of headhunters and opportunities to build valuable connections.
