      So what happened then Sas, did you let yourself get spit roasted on the casting couch by a couple of Hays Recruitment agents for an extra £10 p/h.

            When an agent phones you up about a 3 month contract in Slough, it doesn't count as head hunting.

              Sorry to burst your bubble but it’s quite common, I get calls from agencies every 2-3 months (although it is good for the ego)

                I am getting several per week at the moment (due to having a couple of hot skills listed on my linkedin profile) - it's actually quite annoying. 90% of them are for permie posts.

                  Not wanting to boast, well OK wanting to boast, not a week goes by when I don't get two or three calls from agencies.

                  But surely headhunting is when they specifically earmark you personally for a role as soon as it arises, knowing your past achievements and reputation in that area, rather than digging you up on Linkedin with a keyword search.

                    I notice that some agents use Headhunted or it's derivations in the email subject just to make it look a bit more special.

                    IMO being headhunted means you're being offered the job without having to interview based on your previous experiences working with the right people or from your work in the industry community.
