What is the Difference between a Headhunter and a Recruiter?
Headhunter and recruiter may be used interchangeably but they often express a difference between the relationship and the way in which each individual or firm is paid by companies. Often, a headhunter is a person who works on what is called a contingency basis only. They may have numerous relationships with business professionals in a certain field, and being paid by contingency only — working on commission — may provide greater incentive to get their clients hired.
