Why Headhunt?
With 25% of the market looking to move at any one time you may feel that there are enough job seekers to go around. The problem for you with that 25% of people is that they are actively looking for work and will have other irons in their fire. The odds are in the candidate’s favour and not in yours and your client’s. So, if you want to be able to discuss job opportunities and career steps with the other 75%, you had better be able to head-hunt. NB Head-hunting is much more than sending someone a message on LinkedIn. There is a skill and an art to engaging with and approaching the passive prospect.
Being able to head-hunt allows you to handle those vacancies and assignments that you would otherwise find impossible. It really does ensure that the candidates you put forward to your clients are the best available. Head-hunted candidates are highly unlikely to be presented to your client by your competitors, even when sharing a contingent assignment. Executive Search techniques are as applicable for junior positions as they are for senior ones. Head-hunting can help you get full fee assignments on a retained basis too.
Who should attend?
This busy one day participative executive search training course is suitable for consultants (both external & internal) wishing to add head-hunting / executive search to their skill set (with a good understanding of recruitment) or for experienced search consultants wishing to formalise their knowledge.
Subject Matter on the day to include:
Managing client expectations – Be able to explain to potential clients what is possible and within what timescales (and gain their buy in). Headhunting cannot produce the impossible. As a consultant it is your job to give best practice advice. This session will help enhance the hiring authority & consultant relationship and ensure there is a clear road map to success.
Head-Hunting methodology; managing the process; ethics – Learn how to manage an assignment in a professional logical manner ensuring continuity and consistency of results and enhance your own reputation along the way.
Name gathering – including market mapping utilising both the phone and the internet – Being able to identify and target an effective list of potential contacts will ensure the success of the assignment. Doing it in a timely way is vital.
Due diligence & building credibility – While the phone will be your main tool to approach your potential candidate, the internet is a valuable source for information about the person AND for them to check you out. There are some key steps that will be explained to help warm up your call.
Rapport, commitment & control – Those first few opening moments over the phone are crucial if you are to extend your ‘air time’ into a meaningful two way fact finding conversation. Although you cannot control people, you can control process and gaining the candidate’s commitment is the key. Learn the tried and tested ways to do just that.
The head-hunt call & subsequent conversations – Knowing what you are going to say is half the battle. Knowing how and when to say it is the other half. Few recruiters without formal head-hunt training really know just how to do that. Learn the methodology and psychology behind a truly effective opening to a prospective candidate and how to link information gathered from the candidate previously into each subsequent stage of the consultant/candidate relationship.
Overcoming objections and reactions – Practice really does make perfect. “Where did you get my name?”, “I’m happy where I am”, “Who’s your client?” and a dozen others come up time and time again. Being able to overcome these responses to the candidate’s satisfaction is the key to starting a long lasting business relationship. This session will give you the tools to do that.
NOTE : For consultants wishing to explore the sales process and the pitch itself, our ‘selling executive search’ course detail is here.

“Good couple of days. Learnt a lot and had good fun. Warren managed to make the days very enjoyable and has certainly improved my knowledge and skill set for the job which I shall now try and portray in my career in recruitment. Many Thanks.”
“I came to this course with no knowledge in recruitment but since attending, I feel I have a great understanding of what recruitment is about and I feel so much more confident!”
Background
There is an old question that goes “What if I spend money on training my staff and they then leave?” and the answer is “What if I don’t and they stay?” Too many new recruits don’t get the help and guidance they deserve when they first join a company – it’s the quick whirl round the office meeting a few people, getting shown the basics of how the database works, listening to how their new colleagues make a few calls and then they are let loose. If you want your next hire to make a positive contribution early and to consistently deliver good results in the months and years to come, then giving them quality training in their first few weeks is vital. A well thought out and structured introduction to recruitment is key to future success.
Training is a big investment of your time and money. Recruitment Matters International believe that in order to get the very best out of training, attention and concentration is everything. That’s why we’ve condensed our induction programme into two days. Any longer, and minds can wander and money and time spent isn’t fully optimised. Experience has taught us that a maximum two days in a focussed learning environment really works. In the current climate having grounding in what’s needed to succeed in recruitment is simply crucial.
Who should attend?
‘Two Day Induction’ is an introduction to the recruitment process and the key skills involved. Ideal for those entering recruitment for the first time or recruiters with limited experience who wish to formalise their initial learning. Suggested experience level : 0-12 months

How to find the very best candidates – whatever methodology is needed
“Great course. Job well done. Thank you.”
“Was a fantastic course – continually engaging, have learnt a great deal and has had an immediate impact on my working practices. Highly recommended!”
This course is aimed at Resourcers, Researchers and candidate-facing Recruiters. This is an in-depth research course to help you identify and approach ‘A’ grade candidates and includes all methodologies.
If you want more of an overview and help with the process of a search campaign, including client management, then our Successful Head-Hunting course is more appropriate. If you wish to learn how to win an assignment and sell search, then our Selling Executive Search and Winning Retained Assignments course is right for you. If you need any help in choosing the best option, please contact us.
With technology constantly being improved and social media becoming ever more accurate, being able to attract and source the very best candidates – and quickly – for your vacancies is vital. The recruiter’s bar keeps being raised. Maximising your chances of success means that today’s successful recruiter has to be able to blend the old with the new and the current with the cutting edge. Your existing database is still the first place to look of course. But if that 4 year old CV doesn’t quite fit the vacancy criteria, being able to quickly & proactively source that same individual’s most recent details might just help you produce a quality candidate for the role. Should we now ignore the job boards? After all, there are now so many potentially blurring what works? No of course not – but you do have to be able to identify the most appropriate one(s) and write killer ads if you are going to get that quality applicant at the start of their search. And if that still isn’t producing you the star candidate? Then you have to step up to the plate and go find them!
This one day course will explore and deal with how best to:
- Utilise your database
- Write winning adverts
- Have candidates coming to you via social media (LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.)
- Via social media, identify individuals you want to approach
- How to build a strong network
- Use Boolean logic and X-ray techniques to find information & people
- Have a robust and proactive candidate sourcing process & pipeline
- Introduce yourself positively both online & over the telephone
- Become your sector’s recruiter of choice

- Evaluate your competitors and where that places you

This Selling Executive Search & Winning Retained and Exclusive Assignments one day course will give you the tools to sell those skills & methodology to your clients.

Deliver impactful and inspiring presentations to your chosen audience
Why Attend?
Glossophobia – The fear of public speaking is well documented as one of the top three fears for your average person in the UK. That’s OK if you don’t have that in your job description!
The average recruiter gets more chances to speak in front of an ‘audience’ than most. That audience can be internal, external or both.
People who present naturally are in a very small minority. Those that ‘seem’ to do it naturally have spent time learning and practising their craft to get that good. Businesses and people who want to achieve their goals will do that better when presentations, pitches and messages are delivered in an inspirational and impactful manner.
Who is this for?
This busy one day fully participative presentation skills course is suitable for Owners, Directors, Managers and Team Leaders who run company/team meetings and/or whose role is to inspire those around them to deliver results. In addition, it will be as highly relevant for anyone and everyone responsible for business development via client pitches and presentations.
Note: Numbers are restricted to six people only.
Subject Matter on the day to include:
- Content writing
- Presenting
- Dealing with challenges, both expected and unexpected
- How to hold an audience with no aids or props
- Delivering compelling and inspirational messages
