What is Headhunting?
Headhunting is a specialized recruitment service where dedicated headhunters proactively identify, approach, and engage qualified professionals — including passive candidates not actively job hunting. Independent headhunters on Aniday are paid a referral bonus set by the employer when they refer candidates for mid-to-senior roles, niche specialists, and hard-to-fill positions across Asia and beyond. Hiring at the C-suite or board level? Consider our Executive Search service instead.

Headhunting Services FAQs
What is the difference between headhunting and executive search?
Headhunting targets mid-to-senior professionals and scarce-skill specialists, typically on a employer-set referral bonus model with delivery in days. Executive search targets C-suite and board-level leaders, usually on a longer-running assignment with a deeper, longer assessment process. Aniday offers headhunting for managers and specialists and executive search for senior leadership roles.
What roles do Independent headhunters on Aniday recruit for?
Mid-to-senior managers, technical specialists (engineering, data, product, security), sales and commercial leaders, finance and accounting professionals, marketing leaders, supply chain and operations roles, healthcare professionals, and other niche or hard-to-fill positions across Asia.
How long does headhunting take?
Independent headhunters typically submit their first referrals within 5 working days of you posting the role. Screening is done by the referring headhunter and by you, not by Aniday.
How does Aniday charge for headhunting services?
Aniday charges a platform usage fee only after a hire you make through the platform is confirmed. The referral bonus you set is paid out of it to the independent headhunter who referred the candidate. No retainer, no upfront cost, and a free replacement if the candidate leaves within the warranty period. Fees are calculated as a percentage of annual salary — share your role details for a tailored quote.
Which countries does Aniday provide headhunting in?
Aniday's headhunter network covers 98+ countries with deepest specialization in APAC: Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, India, Thailand, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nigeria, and beyond. Each market is served by local headhunters with native-language and cultural expertise.
Can headhunters reach passive candidates who aren't on job boards?
Yes — that is the core advantage of headhunting. An estimated 70% of qualified professionals are passive (currently employed and not actively applying). Independent headhunters on Aniday use direct outreach, industry networks, and referral chains to engage these candidates, giving you access to talent that traditional job ads cannot reach.
