    Headhunting is one of the most effective recruitment strategies as it allows recruiters and HR Managers to target high potential candidates. As such, modern headhunting is the preferred method of recruitment for recruiting executives. But, despite how effective the technique is, few recruiters adopt it and even less successfully implement it. I became very surprised & happy to read this article. Thank you very much for this sharing.
