While headhunters are responsible for locating qualified candidates, recruiters are responsible for filling positions. Recruiters are people who are generally employed by the company that is advertising the open positions, although they can also be third-party individuals with no affiliation to the company in question.In order to fill the open positions within a company, recruiters pre-screen candidates and facilitate the interview process. They are often also the point of contact for candidates inquiring about a job position. While some recruiters may take a proactive role in seeking out candidates, much like a headhunter would, it’s much more common for them to post job openings and allow qualified candidates to reach out to them first. Recruiters often work to fill multiple positions at once and may help shuffle candidates who aren’t qualified for one position over into applying for another. Additionally, recruiters often work in human resource departments or have various human resource-based roles. Most commonly, recruiters work to fill all job positions, although they may specialize into certain industries on occasion.
