J Michael, ParetoCentral.com commented on Sharon Alderson's blog post 'Help! Stop the Headhunter...I say, don't bother'"One more point to add - if a company is open to possibility of a headhunter stealing a talent, they will also be prepared to build a bench of talent who can replace him/her. That happens is just overall good business practice. In an ironic way,…"
Doug Beabout commented on Sharon Alderson's blog post 'Help! Stop the Headhunter...I say, don't bother'"Great post Sharon. It brings up a really timeless question. One of the earliest lessons learned by this executive recruiter was that I cannot recruit or place anyone who lacks a compelling reason to consider leaving. Although this reason can be…"
Amy Gardner commented on Sharon Alderson's blog post 'Help! Stop the Headhunter...I say, don't bother'"Great post Sharon. I have always thought the same thing. Funny how the good companies tend to work with and embrace headhunters, and those companies that might have something to worry about won't use us."
JR Fent commented on Sharon Alderson's blog post 'Help! Stop the Headhunter...I say, don't bother'"Great points Sharon. I had one firm that I recruited people from that used raises and promotions as a way to counter offer and keep employees from leaving.
This caused a huge ripple in their internal culture. Employees soon learned that if you…"
"Awesome article Sharon. And I agree with Isaac's comment as well. I've been a headhunter for over 15 years and, as my old boss once told me: "Those you don't recruit for are the ones you recruit from." But... he also taught…"
Barbara Goldman commented on Sharon Alderson's blog post 'Help! Stop the Headhunter...I say, don't bother'"Great post. It made me smile. It is amusing that companies' would believe headhunters have power to steal their people. We aren't that powerful. And, you are right, don't bother trying to stop the recruiters. We are people who are…"

Help! Stop the Headhunter...I say, don't bother
Posted on April 9, 2010 at 3:13pm 8 Comments 0 Likes
So many times I’ve heard on the street complaints from companies about headhunters trying to steal their employees…and everytime I laugh a little. Yes, partly because I am a headhunter, but my thoughts go deeper than that. It kind of reminds me of a relationship where one partner is always scared of the other straying away into someone else’s arms. What can we do to stop this from…

We don’t live in a black and white world, a lot of factors get in the way of how we feel and the way we think. Uncontrollable external…
