While it’s commonly recommended to have friends in life who are doctors or lawyers, not everyone realizes the hidden advantages of having a friend who works as a headhunter. That’s why, at MBI Talent Group, we want to shed light on three compelling reasons why you should consider adding a headhunter to your trusted circle.
1- Headhunters have an extensive network of contacts
Due to the nature of their work, headhunters are constantly connected with top talent. Also, headhunters often participate in various professional communities, associations, and networks at universities and graduate programs. Additionally, headhunters are frequently contacted by candidates, further expanding their networking reach.
This is an advantage when you are searching for talent for your organization since they can find the ideal candidate in the shortest possible time. However, their value extends beyond that, as they can also provide advice for your own professional development. With their knowledge of individuals’ professional potential and their ability to analyze skills that need to be developed, a headhunter can become an excellent advisor.
2. Headhunters are markets experts
Finding the best candidate is a task that requires understanding. Not only the requesting company but also the candidate’s location, their specific needs, and expectations, the landscape of competing companies, industry pressures, and more. For example, the qualities sought by a family-owned company in Colombia for a finance manager may differ from those needed by a multinational company expanding into Mexico and seeking a finance team to establish its first branch in the country.
In this regard, headhunters possess excellent market and industry insights. Due to the nature of their work, they need to stay constantly updated on technological trends, market dynamics, demographic and educational changes, salary expectations, company challenges, and more. Having a partner headhunter will enable you to stay consistently informed and make well-informed decisions.
3- Headhunters provide a trusted partnership
Efficient and professional headhunters prioritize strict confidentiality in their work. They understand the importance of conducting searches without revealing client identities and maintain utmost discretion when handling the specific requirements of each organization they collaborate with. Your headhunter friend can be relied upon as a trustworthy individual with whom you can freely share your secrets.
Furthermore, headhunters are accustomed to providing an objective perspective on the various situations they encounter. With a different perspective and mindset, headhunters have the ability to evaluate received profiles from a different angle. Also, headhunters have the ability to offer advice to achieve the best results.
