During their recruitment campaigns, companies often struggle to find the ideal candidate for more senior or specialized positions. Indeed, in sectors such as building and construction, finding competent managers and executives is never easy given the significant shortage of professionals. And the higher number of job openings compared to the demand only exacerbates the problem. It is therefore more advantageous for recruiters to use a headhunting firm specializing in the construction industry to meet their need for qualified and effective employees.
Headhunter, an unusual profession
Working for a recruitment agency, a headhunter is an expert tasked with finding rare, highly skilled, and top-level candidates in a specific field (building, real estate, industry, construction, etc.). They carry out various assignments for companies. Within the agency, they are responsible for assessing client needs, posting job advertisements on specialized websites, managing candidate profiles, contacting and interviewing candidates, and organizing meetings between the recruiter and the employer. They may also work as consultants for companies in France and internationally. To do this effectively, a headhunter must be persuasive and fluent in several languages (English is mandatory) to find exceptional talent worldwide. They must also possess certain qualities such as:
- Knowledge of management roles and their area of intervention
- The art of negotiation, communication, and persuasion
- Analytical skills
Note that a degree at bac + 5 level in business, management or human resources is essential to be able to practice this profession.
In short, the recruiter can maximize their chances by relying on the expertise of a headhunting firm .
