For what kinds of roles do our recruiters headhunt early career professionals?
Let us first clarify that a professional in the early stages of their career refers to a university-educated individual with 0–5 years of work experience in their field. At Academic Work, we have hundreds of corporate clients for whom we are constantly searching for the best talent for various positions, mainly in the fields of IT, Engineering, and Business.
Headhunting is a part of almost every one of our recruitment processes, regardless of the industry. Therefore, if you are a professional in the early stages of your career, you should definitely create a profile right away! It does not commit you to anything, but it makes a lot possible.
How does headhunting work in practice?
By creating a profile on our website, you register in our database. We use AI-powered technology that allows us to search our database for professionals in the early stages of their careers who are a perfect fit for a specific role. For example, if our client company wants to strengthen its IT team with a coder who speaks fluent English and is proficient in the JavaScript programming language, our recruiter can search our database using various keywords and filters for specialists who meet these criteria and are interested in the role in question.

This is how you maximize your chances of being headhunted
Since your chances are entirely tied to your discoverability, you should take the following things into account when creating a profile on our site:
- Upload an up-to-date CV to your profile. It doesn't need to be visually flashy, as long as it contains the most important information regarding your education, work experience, and skills.
- Your profile information will be filled in automatically based on your CV. However, check the accuracy of the information and fill in any possible missing details.
- Fill the "skills" section with as many keywords as possible that describe your abilities. For example: MS Office, Photoshop, Python, sales, Facebook, digital marketing, photography, accounting, and so on.
- As your experience and skills grow, remember to visit and update your profile.
When you keep these points in mind, you make being headhunted significantly easier.
