Headhunters should be used for positions that are pivotal to your business. These roles are often leadership or senior-level positions with high stakes, and the need for the best talent is paramount.
For example:
Controller: Your Controller manages your company’s financial risks. A mistake in this role can be catastrophic, so it’s essential to have the best possible candidate.
Chief Revenue Officer (CRO): Responsible for driving revenue, the CRO is crucial for your company’s financial health. A top-tier CRO can significantly enhance your revenue streams and growth prospects.
VP of HR: This role shapes your company’s culture and talent strategy. A highly skilled VP of HR can improve employee satisfaction, retention, and overall company performance.
In contrast, positions like Account Executives, Staff Accountants, and HR Generalists, while important, do not typically require the same level of expertise and can often be filled internally.
