what is head hunting & how do you recruit higher people?

Third party recruiters who specialise in placing job seekers in full-time positions with their client companies are more often referred to as headhunters. It should be noted, however, that many recruiters resent being called headhunters, and vice-versa. Typically Headhunting is associated with a higher degree of industry knowledge and a more specialized, less 'blanket' approach.Whereas a recruiter may place an advertisement or place calls with no prior knowledge of the individual they are contacting, a headhunter will attempt to know about the subject's previous employment history,education, etc. He will make contact on the premise that 'on paper' the candidate is suitable for the role, whatever their current situation. Poaching employees away from their current employment in this manner gives headhunters their name.
