2. Classify all types of the headhunter service nowadays

According to recruitment experts, the headhunter services on the market today are divided into 3 different segments:

2.1. Mass Recruitment

With this type, the talent hunting company receives orders from businesses with the candidates requirements in terms of quality and quantity. When businesses order in large quantities, they will not require too much experience and expertise of the candidate, so the headhunter will be easier to complete the job. With the available data source, the headhunter will screen and evaluate to select qualified candidates. This process takes about 3-5 days.

2.2. Contingency Search

Contingency Search is a type in which headhunter companies will find candidates that match the requirements of the business, and are only paid contracts when the candidate and the business reach an agreement. With this type, the business is more advantageous because the headhunter is only paid when finding a candidate, so they will have to spend time and effort to complete the task in the fastest time.

This type of personnel recruitment is not limited to any position, from mid-level and high-level candidates to candidates with special expertise, businesses can choose this form. These positions have quite high experience and skill requirements, so it requires the headhunter to also have experience and good knowledge of the professions to be able to take on the position well.

2.3. Retained Search

Retained Search service is suitable for businesses looking for high-level personnel in management positions. In these orders, businesses often make quite high requirements for experience and expertise, so the cost that the headhunter receives after completing the contract is quite generous.
With high recruitment requirements that require candidates with experience, high expertise or specific expertise, businesses must pay a part of the cost of headhunter services in advance. In addition, the headhunter will have to commit to finding the right candidate according to the requirements within a certain time. The next headhunter service fee will be paid at the time of finding a candidate, and the rest will be completed by the business when recruiting a candidate. 

3. How much does the headhunting service cost?

The leading companies in the industry, with brands in the recruitment market for senior personnel, have a cost of 2 to 3 months Gross salary. For companies that do not have a brand or are new to this industry, the cost is about 1 month's Gross salary.

Many high-level recruitment companies also set the cost of headhunter services based on the rank and position to be recruited. For example, employee level 10 million, team leader 20 million, department head 30 million and director 50 million.
Considering the type of recruitment service, recruitment in the form of Contingency Search has a cost of about 20-30% of the candidate's first year salary, and recruiting in the form of Retained Search is 30-35%.

In short, the headhunter service fee will depend on the headhunter unit and the recruitment requirements of the business.
