Executive Recruiters – Headhunters
The term head hunter is used to refer to executive recruiters who specialize in recruiting job seekers to fill executive positions in their organizations or client companies. Executive search (informally headhunting) maybe carried out by the board of directors or executives of an organization, or a third party recruiting agency. Headhunters are generally considered more aggressive than in-house recruiters as they have industry experience and reliable contacts and sources.
