Dear Singh,
Ans.1 I will not give the theoretical meaning of it much rather I will try to explain the meaning of Head hunting from a work viewpoint. If you try to understand from the word it is Hunting a Head (doesn’t mean you have to hunt down a person’s Head like an animal
:-) , don’t mind it was just on a lighter note )
What it means is try to find a candidate who is not easily available through the other easy resources
(Job portals, References, advertisements etc.) Usually it is done to figure out senior professionals (Business Heads / Snr VP’s, COO etc.) or candidates who posses difficult to find skill sets . At the same time it can also be done to find any person from any company (even an executive). Although it get difficult to headhunt a specific employee/ s at junior level when you have a lot of employees doing the similar kind of work.
Lot many times recruitment agencies working for clients have to do a headhunting if their client wants to poach employees from the competitor organization so as to get a ready resources for their own business who doesn’t needs to be trained & after being hired can start giving results immediately. Not only recruitment agencies but Companies also do the same.
Ans2. Process of headhunting will be a little difficult to make understand you by writing it. It is more effectively understood when you see someone doing it. Headhunting is an art in which not everybody in the recruiting business is excellent. It takes time, common sense, patience, efforts & good in making stories to excel in that. Still let me try to explain through an example
For Example - You have the assignment to find the Regional Marketing Manager – North of a Top FMCG Co.
First method: From Google try to find the Board numbers of that target FMCG Company’s regional office for North. You can also try to get it from justdial.com services. Call the board number, cook up a nice story & to try to get the extension number of the Regional Marketing Manager or the Cell number (ALWAYS REMEMBER NEVER EVER YOUR STORY SHOULD OFFEND SOMEONE, OR MAKE SOMEONE SCARED OR HURT SOMEONE’s FEELINGS. NEVER. IT’S A RULE OF THUMB). If your call gets transferred to him & you got him online be polite & share the actual purpose of calling him. Your Job Done. If you don’t get him by that time call after a few hours or may be next day.
What kind of questions to be asked while headhunting cannot be defined specifically & that’s why I said it requires common sense also. It all depends what kind of relevant questions headhunter/ recruiters can ask just to make his way to get to the concerned employee.
A lot of people don’t mind the way recruiters or headhunters find them by making stories but on the other hand a lot of them DO & they tell the recruiters or headhunters point blank on their face that they didn’t liked it & sometimes also show anger. So be ready for both the situations.
There is another way to headhunt people, will tell you some other time.
Hope now you would have got some understanding of the same
Other members if you would like to add more to it & make it more enriching please do the same.
