From the start of a collaboration, competent headhunters will use their network and expertise to deliberately work on behalf of both parties: the company and job seeker. They spot the best candidates and prepare them for interviews with a wide variety of approaches. Headhunters must have an in-depth understanding of the contracting company and its strategies and goals. You should be weary of headhunters who do not individually tailor their work to you, who only provide vague details about the company, or who don’t talk about the company at all.
