We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
2. No. Headhunters charge from the firm, not from the candidate.
3. Answer is in above point
2. Yes. They charge that from the candidate as well as some part from the firm for hiring.
3. Partly. Its more of the connections they build with those hiring to push at the right time/ to the right person.
2. Is it true that headhunters usually expect an amount equivalent to the salary of one month of the position they get you hired at? Would the rule be same for a fresher?
3. Is a headhunter simply a person who the candidate pays so that they can make the process of getting hired easier for the candidate? Paid contact of sorts or is it more complicated?
