Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Most HeadHunters do not find jobs for people/candidates. It takes a lot of hard work to create the connections between candidates and employers.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Customers/Staffing Sales person gives a Headhunter a profile of the candidate they want. Then the Headhunter must go out and find persons who match as closely to the profile as possible. Also, I will give detailed answers to detailed questions. I do not provide canned answers.

2007-12-13 Looking for head hunters:

Headhunters generally head hunt for companies. Meaning they do not find people jobs for the most part. Instead, they try to fill "opportunities" at companies. It's kind of a chicken before the egg kind

There are a lot of jobs in Business Intelligence in general. A good strategy for finding out just how many jobs like this in your area would be to go onto a site like monster, dice.com, or careerbuilder
