12. Summary

14. NEW DEFINITION A head-hunting is used if in a selection process a client would like to attract particular experts or employees of particular organizations without a public personnel selection. A head-hunting is a complex and delicate process.

15. OBJECTIVE The main objective should not be to generate short-term employment but to bridge the demand-supply gap. Ethical headhunting calls for a sense of integrity.

16. APPLICATIONS It is generally believed that the best candidates are those who are not actively searching for a job. They are happy in their present position and organization, and are not looking out for a change anytime soon. However, they are proactively thinking about their career and are not averse to a change if opportunities do arise.

17. For Which Position and why Headhunting? Mid to senior levels (many with a high level of expertise in their field) The majority are in the age group of 30-40 years The most general approach adopted by the recruitment agents in India is to release newspaper advertisements for candidate sourcing. This method carries an inherent risk 'the right man may not even apply‘.

18. Job Seeker’s Weak Points The brand value of the company, a challenging job role, better perks and positions, might be suitable attractions to make them change their jobs, but there is a category that is the toughest to lure—those with good boss.

19. Why does somebody opt for a job change? The “boss problem” factor is one of the essential reasons why people are unhappy in their organization If an IT professional is not able to upgrade his skills on the technology which is fast changing, and is keen to work in a company which offers an opportunity to work on the latest technology The opportunities and growth in terms of kind of projects, role in the project and monetary aspects

20. BEST STRATEGIES Proactive networking Approaching them through a reference or mutual contact generally results in a positive response Gaining the confidence of passive job seekers is important. It is also imperative not to push them into taking up a job headhunter often has to play the role of a career guide or consultant to convince a passive job seeker the role of a headhunter is to understand the career plan and help the candidate achieve that

21. 5) One needs to have all the information before calling 6) Cultivating candidates over time guarantees success. 7) Understand the industry and market norms, job profiles, people skills, work culture, HR policies etc. 8) The headhunter has to take into consideration the candidate's values, job preferences, skills, background, family commitments etc.

22. A significant pool of passive candidates are untapped. It is wiser to be on the lookout for another job when the going is good, than wait for things to go wrong. Passive job search makes you aware of your “market value” in the industry. It develops a network of mentors and other people who can be useful in the future. Makes you aware of the skills needed to enhance your potential in the job market. Enables you to be available when the best opportunities show up.

23. The Essentials of Headhunting for a CEO Proactive networking with senior professionals in seminars and forums Seeking references of senior executives from other senior professionals Scanning periodicals, the Web, etc, to track the career progress of senior professionals Maturity in handling relationships with senior candidates and gaining their trust

Head-hunting is as applicable for junior positions as it is for senior ones. Head-hunted candidates can help you get full fee assignments too.

50. Common Doubt QUESTION I'm interested in recruiting a highly experienced senior instructional designer with excellent development skills, familiarity with current technology, and some management background. Which recruiting method do you think is likely to provide the most select, qualified group of candidates? Local papers, trade periodicals, online, headhunters? And why would you recommend this resource?

51. ANSWER If you have the money to hire a headhunter, go for it.Your most success will come from networking. Call people you trust inside your industry as well as other consultants. Outline your needs. If they do not have anyone in mind, ask them who they recommend you call. Its a guarantee that in less than 10 well placed phone calls you will have at least two or three potential candidates. Are you aware that almost 70 percent of all jobs are filled through networking. Headhunting is simply an expensive form of networking.
