How
to Select a Headhunter?
How can you choose a headhunter
who will work effectively for you?
If you are seeking employment
in a specific industry, consider using a headhunter who works
in that industry. If you belong to a professional association
they may be able to provide a list of recruiters.
Use online directories

Network with business
colleagues and acquaintances to get suggestions.
Turn the table and spend
some time interviewing the recruiter. This is an important
professional relationship and you need to be sure it's going
to work. Ask how long the recruiter has been with the company.
Also ask how about the process and how they market your resume
and present it to potential employers.
Ask the recruiter for
references and check them. Talk to clients about the services
that were provided and what they thought of them. Also, ask
if they would use the recruiter again.
Finally, make sure you
are comfortable with both the company and the individual.
There needs to be a fit between your style and the style of
the people who are representing you.
Remember, that using a
recruiter should only be one step in your job search. There
is no guarantee if, or when, a lead will turn into a job offer.
So, do not stop your own job search efforts and don't stop
networking or looking for potential opportunities on your
own. Do let the recruiter know that you are seeking other
opportunities.
