Should I Hire a Headhunter to Find a Job?
Hiring a headhunter makes the most sense for senior professionals, executives, and specialists who want confidential access to unadvertised roles. It is usually less effective for early-career job seekers, career changers, or anyone expecting a recruiter to act as a personal job-search advocate. Before deciding, consider your level, industry norms, who pays the fee, and what alternatives exist.
