Art of Headhunting
Headhunting is a term that still rises more than a few eyebrows in boardrooms and offices throughout Asia. The two words "head" and "hunting" conjure up images of savagery and aggression, distrust and enigma. However, one thinks of the concept of headhunting either in the literal sense or more appropriately to the professional reference.
There is much to gain from dispelling myths in order to fulfill two vital needs: saving of time and money and turning into a high profit. In order for the first two needs to be filled, there must be a highly talented individual who is capable of taking on these responsibilities.
Executive Search is the term more corporate managers are familiar with. Whatever the word, the objective is: to find the best candidate for an executive position as specified by the qualifications of the job and the expectations of the company. In the past, Asian companies did not have little reason to believe in some of the services the firms offered, nor did they understand how the recruiters search for candidates.
Instead, they relied on their own connections or resorted to advertisement to look for someone who would fill a senior management vacancy. Now, with so many foreign companies bringing overseas expertise to Asian region, local companies have to keep up by buying this talent from their competitors. This is one of the benefits of using a headhunter.
Local companies need to hire experienced and same token overseas companies requires local expertise in order to compete in an Asian business environment.
The incredible expansion of local and multi national companies into various regions of the Asia-Pacific also demands a cache of skilled managers who have worked outside of their native countries.There is a short age of talent for positions that need overseas experience coupled with local knowledge of the business community and the culture within that structure.
Western only expertise is not only expensive but also lack of the experience in understanding the local environment. A senior executive from a Western country such as the United States must relocate to Asia first, then adapts to the surrounding environment and culture, then eventually picks up experiences and nuances of Asian economy.
The difficulty in finding these people within the local region in the first place derives from the fact that companies here operate in an unstructured environment, with achievements and accolades attained strictly from experiences and observations, while in the United States and other Western countries executives perform by the book.
Headhunters can perform this arduous task of finding scarce talented candidates from their own established database while they use their search methods to tap into the availability for qualified people. Using search firm is an investment in improving the quality, timing and proximity of your managerial horse power.
The fees that headhunters charge may seem expensive at first. However, the economic benefits add up quite quickly as the company saves money by not needing to put advertisement in the newspaper, personnel resources who would otherwise be screening and interviewing candidates, time and resources in researching the qualifications of these individuals, while a headhunter can find someone who can triple those returns
The added benefit of confidentiality must be a careful consideration, as most companies want to keep their future goals and plans for expansion from competitor, thus they wish to reveal the qualifications and responsibilities for their senior level executive.
"A successful headhunter in Asia must put sensitivities and needs of their clients first and foremost. He or She must put his/herself in the driver's seat of a managing director on a company to project how this person would benefit the organization. A successful recruiter will thoroughly analyze the market direction in which their clients are dealing, as well as knowing how to find potential candidates."

Why use Search Firm?
With so many international and local executive search firms having the same services such as outsourcing of recruitment needs can be a tough task. How can we ensure that we pick the best search firm that can be able to get the best candidate quickly to create the impact of the candidates' gain in your organization.
The firm needs to have a thorough understanding, professionalism and quality to attract the highest quality candidates. In addition to this, search firm acts as your emissary and is capable of putting itself into your position. This is only possible if the consultant has the necessary industry knowledge and has Senior Executive experience.
Within the firm, what matters are: "Who performs the execution of finding the client's needs?"; "Do they have consultants who has the skills determining the best candidate who will meet the clients criteria?"; "Do they have any background in recruitment systems?"; and lastly "Is the search firm are capable to represent your company to the business world?"
Search Firm's function is to advocate and assist executive management in identifying and hiring the best available candidates for their specific needs. Their goal is to place individuals capable of succeeding, not only in their initial assignments, but also in fulfilling the client's long-term objectives.
Good Candidate Criteria
Searching for a candidate to fill the executive position takes incredible diligence, fore-thought, and research, not only for the enormous responsibilities that this person must undertake, but also for the reputation of the company and its future. For a corporation trying to recruit a manager either too see its expansion into a foreign country.
To place someone who will increase revenue and productivity, it must set uncompromising qualities for this candidate. Additional criteria may be added to these qualities, but the over all goal is to save time and money for fast results, and not absorb a loss by training the wrong person for the job.
A candidate should have at least three plus years of working experience in one company. The reasons are obvious in the intensely competitive business climate in Asia. Operating in an environment in which a company is competing with the world in one territory.
A potential executive must demonstrate the loyalty and ability to see his or her firm through difficult time, as well to achieve progress. Someone staying in one company for three years or longer should be thoroughly knowledgeable of the market, as well of guiding that company at every level. The candidate upon arrival at the interview, should be presentable, dressed-sharply, and prepared for the first impression.
An executive applying for a senior position in a quality firm should already understand proper dress could either enhance order contract from his or her chances for the job. An employee, especially one at the senior management level, is a representative for the company, and therefore should dress accordingly. As well, this person must also be a good thinker who is willing to roll up his sleeves and do anything for the company to succeed. A candidate will always end up being part of the problem or a solution for a company but absolutely no firm wants to end up with the former.
A definite asset is a strength in presenting a case and knowing how to solve the problem, instead of merely pointing out faults. Simply because, a senior executive must be a good leader, presenter and negotiator. The most important keys are the willingness to work, loyalty to a company, dedication to its goals and success.
Not only search firm looks for hard workers, but they are searching for the willingness to solve a problem after finding a fault. Flexibility, the willingness to travel, and the abilities to adapt from a different environment quickly are attributes that composes a valuable resource for an organization.
