I have never worked with a Headhunter before. As a candidate what should I be asking the Headhunter?

It’s best to work with a Headhunter that has a deep understanding of your role, your industry and the search they are undertaking.

To better understand their experience and the opportunity we would recommend you ask them the following questions:

▪️ What is your recruiting focus / niche?

▪️ Is there a specific position you’re calling me about or are you just looking for someone of my qualifications?

▪️ How many candidates have you placed for this company?

▪️ What’s your relationship with the hiring manager?

▪️ How long has the position been open, and is it a new role or a replacement?

▪️ Do you typically offer advice or feedback before and after the interview?

▪️ What should I know about the position and company that’s not in the job description?

▪️ What’s the culture of the hiring company and the growth opportunities in the role?

▪️ When do they want someone to start?

▪️ What will the process look like and what are the timelines involved?
