How should Recruiters/Headhunters consider their role - Part1

Our ever changing world

In our today’s globalizing world and the rise of HR as strategic to a company, we are more than ever required.


With the Web 2.0 and the emergence of social media, we have access to an international broad audience. Our challenge is to learn how to use social media as a powerful tool for networking, marketing and communication.

With those new areas, our job is getting more complex and dense.

What is a Talent
A "Talent" is a highly skilled professional with a great potential to evolve and a valuable personality.
Companies are not just looking for a skillset anymore (hence the insufficiency of the hard-copy Cv), but they are investing in a human resource, in other words, a human capital.

On top of the necessary requirements, they are after someone that can bring on board a:
- genuine dedication to his jon driven by passion
- potential at flourishing and evolving with the technology advancement
- personal project that he could lead whitin the organisation as an intrapreneur
- strong networks to share with peers and grow the reputation and the knowledge of the company

Talents are chased all over the world: this is now our candidate pool. We have to spread our networks subsequently. Having a cross-cultural experience is a serious advantage.
