It must give us the nice feeling to be headhunted. It is a form of recognition by the other organisation about your value. Employers are very critical of getting the right people for the important positions in his organisation. They are very specific of their requirements and likely to get the services of headhunters to fill up the posts and they are very particular of trying their best to get the correct people..
What actually they are searching and what are the traits that attract the headhunters,
1. The Background.
Where you come from, your background and social networks are important for some positions. This is because the social positioning reflects the nature of a person. The upbringing will in a certain degree influence the personality and the thought.
2. Expertise in the field.
Before the headhunter does the search, he would talk to the industry and get some informations or leads. That mean the chosen person will be well known to the industry. He may had spoken in a seminar or had written papers. He would be of better value if he had a track record of performance.
3. Value added skills.
In the present global setting, certain skills stand out compared with the others. These are the skills that can transgress across the cultural boundaries. Some international corporations are looking for individuals with overseas postings, wide educational exposure or able to speak the alternate languages. For that reasons, the younger managers are recommended to gain experiences in working oversea.
4. Career Experiences.
To gain sufficient experience in any areas, an employee had to spend some time in that role or function. Depending on the type of job, certain position will require a detail depth. However there are positions that are looking for the breadth. The wider and variety of experience will indicate flexibility and ability to face different challenges.
So whatever areas of work you are doing, do think of the short term objective and a longer term interest.
Thank You.
