Best Dubai Recruitment Consultants


A headhunter is usually appointed by companies to help spot top level executives for their organization. Headhunters Dubai are usually niche-specific. They work for specific sectors that give them an upper hand in recruitment processes. They build a strong interpersonal connection and an extensive network that includes clients, brands, executives and experts from a specific sector.

What is the difference between headhunters and recruiters?

1. A headhunter usually hires for only C-suite job profiles. A recruiter encompasses all hiring operations right from entry level junior positions to senior executive positions.
2. Headhunters lead a very focussed recruitment drive. They have a list of all the soft and hard skills that the candidate needs. They will not recommend someone who doesn’t fit the position. On the other hand, the key skills that a recruiter looks for can be more generic.
3. Headhunters are outsourced by Dubai recruitment agency. The recruiter is an employee of the hiring firm.
4. A headhunter has better access and an interpersonal relationship with most candidates on their list. A recruiter can be unaware of these candidates as they are dealing with a huge database across multiple job profiles and sectors.


A Dubai recruitment agency has their permanent headhunters that help them regularly track top level executives.

How do headhunters work?

1. Job description

The manager or the HR cell of a company will approach the headhunter with the job description.

The job description will include key skills and leadership features that the candidate must possess. Relevant details like the educational qualification, certifications, past experience, etc. will be crucial elements of the detailed job description




2.
Looking into database for the right fit

A headhunter will have a database of their own. This database will encompass worldwide candidates and people with varying skill sets and experience levels. The headhunter will screen the database to look for the right fit. Their primary goal is to track a person that has the same skill sets that are mentioned on the job description.

3.
Approaching the right candidates and negotiating with them

Once the headhunter has found the perfect match, he approaches the candidate. The headhunter tries to convince the candidates about the job role and how it would be perfect for their profiles. The meeting also includes a brief understanding about the client’s requirement, the job profile, expected salary, the organization’s future and other relevant aspects.

4.
Mediation

The headhunter will be a mediator between the client and the candidate. The headhunter represents the client throughout the process. Their main goal is to help both the parties assess each other without any disagreement.
