Comment on: Blog Post 'Recruiters- Good VS Evil': d (yes headhunters do post ads in all kinds of places) but mostly we contact people who are referred to us or a result of our research. If someone as you describe is just gathering resumes to slap them in they are not considered a "headhunter". A real headhunter has been around for a while is more than happy to talk to a potential candidate about a job, the company, the salary, the position and will always do an indepth interview with a potential candidate. With the global reach that many of us have we of course do not meet every candidate in person. Not possible. A good headhunter can do a sound and indepth phone interview and the candidate knows it was exactly that. What you have described certainly exists, they are the inexperienced agency recruiters or they work for a resume mill with the attitude of stab and slab em'. Those should not be confused with a bonofide "headhunter". Additionally a good headhunter will not take offense to being called one or any of another list of funny terms. "Body Snatcher", flesh peddler, and on and on. We are comfortable in our own skin. Our candidates respect us as do our clients or we would not be considered headhunters and we would have long ago faded into the ranks of internal recruiting where good headhunters would go crazy with all the processes and policies that get in the way of timely hires of good candidates who didn't drop their resume in the ATS. If you didn't feel good about being called a headhunter when you were one then it is good you moved on. If you really think that good headhunters are few and far between you didn't have the opportunity to meet the thousands of good ones that i have had the pleasure of meeting and working with for the last three decades. I'm sorry you didn't you would not have written an article like this if you had met the ones i know. We get paid for what we do well just as any professional does.…; Added by Sandra McCartt at 2:30pm on June 17, 2011
