Do’s and Don’ts of Hiring Headhunted Candidates
In a talent shortage, job boards alone won’t bring you the candidates you need—this is where headhunting comes in. And candidates who have been headhunted
We have been working with The Headhunters for over 10 years to get the best talent for our growing company. Tracy Proutt has been incredible to work with, especially during this tight labour market, always having the interests of our organization first. Tracy has enriched our company with the market’s top talent for the role she filled.
I had the opportunity to work with The Headhunters during the hiring process for a team of technical services engineers. I had the pleasure to work with Tracy Proutt. The search for the ideal candidates was not easy due to current market conditions and availability of resources in the engineering field, but Tracy was relentless in finding the right candidates [and] the search was successful. Tracy was key during the pre-selection [and] also assisted during brainstorms, providing her insights and previous experience in finding resources with similar requirements. I strongly recommend The Headhunters for recruitment services.
The Headhunters worked hard to find an ideal candidate for our recent recruitment of a challenging position to fill. Three months in and we’re very pleased with the hire and The Headhunters’ role in finding and hiring our candidate.
Jacqueline Johns is a pleasure to work with. She keeps constant communication, is open-minded and doesn’t stop until she gets the job done. [She is] constantly trying to understand the role expectations and organization so she finds the best fit for our positions.
I reached out to Barry Milne with our request, he put us in touch with Ann Xu based on our needs. She gained a very good understanding of our culture and values quality over quantity when it came to candidates which made the process very simple and effective!
In the past I was always tentative about using a headhunting agency. However, my experience with The Headhunters has changed that. My first hire for an engineer worked out very well, so I used The Headhunters again when I needed to fill an administrator role, and they delivered a great candidate once again. I would not hesitate to recommend their services.
Good, solid service. Dave is a pro and works his requirements well, which is not easy when working across varying time zones and localities.
The Headhunters has blown other recruitment agencies out of the water. [The recruiter I worked with] displayed professionalism, couth, and an exceptional understanding of our needs. All communication from email to face-to-face meetings has been timely, enthusiastic, and grammatically correct! We will not hesitate to work with The Headhunters again.
Thank you for the support. It was truly a pleasure working with Cam Macmillan regarding this placement. If I have, or know someone who has a recruitment need, I will not hesitate to send them in your direction.
Even during the slow economic conditions, Barry knows how to steer the right candidates to the right managers resulting in successful matches because he gains a deep knowledge of the needs and capabilities of each party involved through his networking skills and ability to listen.
