What is a headhunter?

A headhunter is a company or individual that provides employment recruiting services on behalf of an employer or client.

​What are the benefits of hiring a headhunter?

SAVES YOU TIME! The headhunter does all time-consuming tasks like researching, sourcing,  screening, & pre-qualifying highly qualified and targeted candidates.

​

SAVES YOU MONEY! On average a company LOSES 30% of an employee's first annual salary if they make a BAD HIRE. We prevent that from happening due to extreme due diligence in our candidate selection.

 

NETWORKING! Headhunters have a large network of pre-existing relationships built on trust and years of collaboration. These networks generally encompasses tens of thousands of people, and always nationally, and sometimes even globally. People do business with people they know and trust.

What industries do we work in?

Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Post-Rev Startup, Fin-Tech, Venture Capital, Health-Tech, Clean-Tech, Manufacturing, and Automotive.

What makes us different from other headhunters?

We provide an ecosystem of pre-existing relationships in technology leadership originating from Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Health-Tech, Clean-Tech, Manufacturing, Automotive and Venture Capital. Therefore we have a distinct advantage (our network), when sourcing high-standard candidates on your behalf.

What is our process in finding the ideal candidate for you?

The process of preparing, delivering and following up with candidates involves the responsibility of screening & shortlisting where we take candidates through an in-depth pre-qualifying process that entails multiple 30/60 minute followup calls.  The pre-qualification process also includes verifying candidates by checking references. ​
