Executive Search - The Recruiter

You decide: Recruiter or Headhunter?
Candidates and clients often apologize after they slip and refer to us as “headhunters”. For many, this term has a negative connotation, but according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary the term is pretty “right on” regarding our service level: executives, sales professionals, and business leaders.

Re•cruit, verb : to secure the services of : engage, hire; re•cruit•er noun

Head•hunt•er, noun: a recruiter of personnel especially at the executive level

Your choice, recruiter or headhunter…or search specialist!

Level of Professionalism
Our recruiters/search professionals/headhunters (take your pick!) are seasoned and tenured business leaders who have had careers prior to executive search in the “people business”. Ranging from high-level sales and management, to entrepreneurs and coaches, our career backgrounds have given us the unique ability to draw on a variety of experiences to attract and secure the best candidates and opportunities.

As headhunters, it is critical we possess a skill-set which includes an advanced questioning technique and a strong “people sense” – both important in understanding the needs of the candidate and the client. We rely heavily on these skills to find and secure the best matches.

Search professionals (just in case you like this term better) are versed in industry terminology and verbiage, always maintaining the highest level of professionalism in any interaction. Our career experiences make it possible to relate as peers, demonstrating like-mindedness and relate-ability which is important for recruiters (last but not least, the most common term) to build meaningful relationships with candidates and clients.

We look forward to working with you!

“I had the pleasure of working with Heidi and UPwordsInc this past summer on a career change I wasn’t initially seeking. In fact, my initial response to her was ‘thanks, I’ve got a pretty good gig where I’m at…not really interested.’ However, the more we talked the more I found myself intrigued by the opportunity. Her professional, non-pressured approach was very appealing as that is the same that I use in sales. Heidi clearly wants what is best for her clients and this shines through in everything she does during the recruiting process.”
