Frequently asked questions about headhunting
What is a headhunter?
A headhunter is a specialised recruitment consultant who seeks out and attracts experienced leaders and specialists - typically passive candidates who are not actively looking for a new job. The headhunter works confidentially for the company, maps the market, screens candidates and advises on the right match between company, role and person.
What does executive search cost in Denmark?
Fees for executive search in Denmark are typically 25-33% of the candidate's first-year gross salary (base + bonus), depending on the level, complexity and search market of the position. At Holmgaard Management a fixed fee is agreed before the assignment starts, split across milestones and with no hidden add-ons - so you know the price before the process begins.
