#headhunters

Over the last couple years I found that mgmt here has decided they would rather use human capital or other headhunters to place sub-par people into upper mgmt roles than to take employee suggestions on who might be a good hire.

We have gone external for a lot of role - and not a single external hire has been impressive but they all get paid more than internals.

Like of course a head hunters firm that gets paid on placing candidates in your shop will tell you everyone walks on water other than your own employees….

I was impacted in April. I’ve noticed that people are getting new jobs or big companies are actively seeking them through headhunting. However, I’m struggling to understand how this is happening. I’ve been unsuccessful in my job search everywhere. How are big companies able to find these individuals without them applying to roles? How are people finding jobs so easily?

I’m posting because I am sure many others are feeling frustrated as well, and it’s disheartening that it seems so effortless for some people.
