On average, it can take 35 to 90 days for the typical job opening to be filled. But the more alarming statistic is that up to one-third of all new hires quit within the first 60 days of a new job. According to a BambooHR survey, the reasons for the quick departure include poor onboarding, unclear expectations, a lack of support, and a negative work environment. What these numbers and facts are telling business management teams is that the money spent on recruitment and a modern hiring plan for 2025 – 2026 is a wise investment. At Potere Search, we offer professional recruitment services to help you eliminate the revolving door effect of new hires and ensure you retain top talent within your company.
What Is a Headhunter?
Merriam-Webster defines a headhunter as a personnel recruiter, especially for executive or specialized positions. More in-depth definitions explain that headhunters typically look for candidates who can fill a specific role, but they are not involved in the hiring process. In essence, they are a group of seekers of candidates who might fit a role. But the headhunter is not involved in the hiring process or the evaluation process of the candidates. They are simply a middleman who is funneling potential candidates to a hiring team or HR staff who will take on the process of evaluations.
What Is a Recruiter?
According to Merriam-Webster, a recruiter is a person who finds or enlists new members or employees for an organization. It expounds on their actions by stating that the recruiter finds and screens qualified candidates to fill job openings. With these two basic definitions of the roles by a trusted resource, it is clear that a headhunter typically offers some of the services of a recruiter. A recruiter can be a headhunter, but the opposite is not true. A headhunter does not provide the same services and level of services as a recruiter. When you work with Potere Search, you are getting the best the recruiting industry has to offer.
