Abstract

The paper examines the conceptual framework of headhunting techniques in HRM, focusing on emerging trends and practices. Headhunting is crucial for attracting top talent to meet organizational goals. Through a literature review, the study elucidates theoretical foundations and explores dynamic strategies influenced by technology and globalization. Contemporary methods like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and social media are analyzed for their role in talent identification. The research provides insights into headhunting tactics and their impact on talent acquisition strategies, enabling organizations to optimize hiring efforts for long-term success in the modern business environment.
