Headhunters: understand how to communicate with them and how they work (video)

April 2, 2021 | CareerAngels | Our Updates

To communicate effectively with headhunters, you need to understand how they work. They aren’t your friends, colleagues or people that want to help you. They work for their clients and are looking for the right candidates (meaning you) who will do the job. The effectiveness of this channel for the last 3 years was 13.67% which means that it remains in the fourth position among the job search channels. Depending on your seniority and the size of the market, we recommend you contact 30-50, but sometimes even more than 100 headhunters during your job search.

This video was recorded during one of the 16 webinars we produced last year that attracted over 1000 participants from all over the world who have spontaneously sent us feedback like this one: “I recommend the webinars to people who haven’t looked for a job in a very long time.” – Operations Manager

How to thank us

At Career Angels, we do a lot for the job market – especially since the beginning of the pandemic. Often completely free of charge. We are, therefore, asked – sometimes suspiciously: “Why do you do it? Why do you share your know-how freely?”. We are called “Angels” for a reason – we care. But also: we want to elevate our profession. We want to educate the market. We want to define standards. We want to set the bar high.

And once in a while, we are asked, “How can I help? How can I contribute?”. We’ve put together a list of things that you can do to help us help others – more about that below. First, a summary of our 2021 thus far to convince you that we merit your support:

1973 participants in 25 webinars of different formats + regular quantitative data tracking of the number of published job ads on LinkedIn + 525 curated hidden job market gems + 204 free career consultations + 4 moderated exclusive meetings for experienced managers and executives.

LinkedIn job ads – market analysis (Week 12)

Full Week 12 Market Signals report showing winners: Baltics, Montenegro and Losers: Iberia, Spain

Full Week 12 Market Signals report showing winners: Baltics, Montenegro and Losers: Iberia, Spain

Market Signals – where do they come from?

We started by monitoring the number of LinkedIn job ads in 18 European countries in Week 13 of 2020 (mid-March) – and extended our observations to ultimately 38 countries in Europe since Week 15. This allows us to measure a KPI that gives quite a good feel of the overall trend on the global job market.

Career Angels analyze the collected figures and complement the quantitative data with detailed and personal statements & insights of CEOs, HR Directors, investors, board members, candidates and headhunters that we know personally. We observe if and what kind of trends there are to leverage them into better candidate management & more effective job search methods.

These are not usual times, so we decided to share our market signals by the end of each week. If the country / context is important, we’ll add them. Otherwise, we’ll keep it general for confidentiality.
