Headhunting
1 hour Interactive Workshop delivered face to face or virtually.
​
I was taught how to head hunt by Geoff Morgan from Morgan & Banks. As part of the start up of Alectus Personnel (their mainstream brand) it went to be the leader in the marketplace before being publicly listed. I used head hunt techniques for salaries of up to $75K and was very successful at building talent short networks.
​

Prior knowledge of the recruitment process is required for this workshop.
​
Outcome expected: Participants will gain confidence and practical skills in how to research prospective candidates, making the approach, selling the opportunity and controlling the process. All participants will gain valuable skills in building their networks.
