I grew up in Ahmedabad, got graduated in the year 2015 and I was always passionate about living my life on my own terms since my teenage, so I started working at a very young age where I wanted to earn and fulfil my dreams. I started working at Axiom BPM when I was 17 years old and never looked back. After Axiom, I worked at various BPOs with various processes and gathered a lot of experience in voice calling during the years but since I don't have any proof of it, the same has not been mentioned in my CV. Also, I had a great passion towards music since my childhood which ultimately made me work towards it. I decided to pursue my music journey by shifting to Mumbai, learning how to DJ and since then, I have been living in Mumbai and working there as a DJ. But due to some family responsibilities and because of Covid-19, I had to come back to Ahmedabad. I see myself as a practical person with an amiable disposition and strong cultural values. I firmly believe in accuracy and precision in whatever I do. My career objective is to succeed in the service sector by applying my strategic thinking process to customer relations and customer support. I'm looking for a challenging job which can allow me to showcase my expertise and experience towards achieving the objectives of any organisation that I'm working for and eventually, climb the corporate ladder.
It has been said that the true example of love is willing to give of one’s self for the benefit of another. As a staffing specialist with almost 12 years of experience, I strive to help people find their dream job by utilizing my immense knowledge about the industry, success driven ideas & strategies and out of the box approach. After all, not everyone from the 7.125 billion living on this tiny planet gets to work on their dream job/project, and that's when people like me get to say "we're here to save the world". I posses a broad range of expertise in recruiting, staffing, compensation, sourcing, talent management and retention and employee relations. Over the years I have supported quite a few Fortune 500 clients finding talent to do their time critical projects and developments. Be it an accountant OR a C-level executive, I understand their Pain/Interest before sending them out to the workplace where they would fit and have always wanted to work. I believe in doing minimum daily things, the rule has always been like 'do a little all the time', rather than 'doing a lot sometimes', which had helped me in being consistent about the revenue I generate for my company(and for myself too). "What's the fun of doing things the same way?", that's what a 3/5 self sticker on my desk says. I support the other side of the debate which talks about 'not being a black-hole recruiter' and how successful a sales person would be if and only if they understand their prospect's needs in detail, rather than throwing their ball blindly. "Learn, Unlearn and Relearn" & "Knowledge increases by sharing", that's pretty much enough to describe me as a person both personally and professionally. I love making new professional acquaintances. Reach out if you want to talk about technology, business or Marvel Comics. If I can't be of any service, I may know others who can be of some help to you.

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.

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.

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

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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Initial approach: reach out to potential candidates discreetly, presenting the opportunity without revealing the client’s identity.
Candidate assessment: headhunters perform thorough evaluations through detailed interviews, skill assessments, and reference checks to assess each candidate’s fit for the role.
Interviews: arrange and manage interviews between the client and selected candidates, handle logistics, gather feedback, and ensure clear communication.
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.
Closing the Deal: headhunters finalize the candidate's commitment by addressing any last concerns and ensuring a smooth transition into the new role.
Follow-Up and Onboarding Support: Headhunters offer continued support during onboarding, including guidance, follow-up check-ins, and maintaining relationships for future opportunities.
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.
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:
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.
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:
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.
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:
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."
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.
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.
