Definition
People or companies whose job is to find and recruit talented individuals for employment, especially for senior positions.
Etymology
From 'headhunt' plus the agent suffix '-er' (one who does). This became a professional term in mid-20th century business culture.
Kelly Says
Executive headhunters operate like spies—they maintain secret databases of talented people, network constantly, and know who's unhappy at their current job before the person tells their family.
