During the job hunting process, always consider all resources and avenues that you can leverage to enhance your chances of securing employment instead of restricting your options. Working with head-hunters is definitely one option that job seekers can embark on especially if you have a strong profile because they would want to represent you before their corporate clients so that they can continue to be of value to their clients. Sometimes, the head-hunters have strong working relationship with their corporate clients and are able to influence the hiring process by improving the visibility of your profile. So, don’t ignore the head-hunter route in complementing your repertoire of efforts in supporting your job search. One of the cons, however, is they may put you in a position that yield a bigger payout but may not match your career goal/aspiration or align to your personality /work style.
