Jobs in London Trainee Headhunter/Researcher - Executive Search

As a trainee Headhunter, your role will be to make contacts within a niche area of the marketplace via targeted headhunt calls. Your aim as a Headhunter is to gather as much information as possible about who works in your particular niche. Once you have found the highest level professionals in your expert area, produced market maps, organograms etc, you will put this information forward to the senior consultants who will then approach them and place them into roles with their corporate clients. As you become more proficient at this, you will progress upwards to consultant level and beyond - a fantastic springboard into a rewarding and potentially very well paid career.
