5 Reasons to Use a Headhunter

1. Headhunters are a direct link between you and the hiring authority resulting in faster hiring, more interviews, increased resume and interview feedback, better communications, and a smoother job search process. Headhunters are an integral partner with companies to help them grow with talented people.

2. Headhunters help to secure better job offers. It is estimated that working through a headhunter will increase a job offer by nearly 20% as compared to direct negotiations. Using an agent, which are used in many industries, bridges the personal aspect of tough negotiations with your future employer.

3. Headhunters and external recruiters are used by all companies. Headhunters and agency recruiters often have valuable insight into job openings not publicized on job sites, or jobs soon to be opened, as a result of established relationships with employers and hiring managers.

4. Headhunters have details regarding jobs, hiring managers, and companies. Headhunters learn what is important to managers and employers and they make sure you have this insight to get the interview and job offer. Whether you are interested in start-ups or large companies, they have in-depth industry knowledge.

5. Headhunters give you a better chance for an interview and job offer. They sell you at all stages of the hiring process. This is a tremendous advantage over an unrepresented candidate who has only submitted a resume to a company. If it comes down to you and another candidate, you will likely get the job.
