00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:05.720
>> So my name's Brendan Bikert [phonetic] for
a living currently I live here in New York.

00:00:05.720 --> 00:00:07.940
I work in Times Square for a startup.

00:00:07.940 --> 00:00:10.320
It's a recruiting software called Bounty Jobs.

00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:13.160
And I'm a Headhunter/Account
Manager for the company.

00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:16.030
Especially in New York City, if
you're thinking about moving there,

00:00:16.030 --> 00:00:18.560
headhunters are going to be huge for you.

00:00:18.560 --> 00:00:23.590
Headhunters come into contact with different
companies, they form relationships with them.

00:00:23.590 --> 00:00:28.110
And then the company is looking to
hire people through different means,

00:00:28.110 --> 00:00:31.620
other than just posting the
position on their website.

00:00:31.620 --> 00:00:34.010
And basically what headhunters
do is they look out and they try

00:00:34.010 --> 00:00:36.830
to find the right candidates for those roles.

00:00:36.830 --> 00:00:40.370
See if they're interested in taking the next
step in their career; changing positions.

00:00:40.370 --> 00:00:41.560
Whatever it may be.

00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:45.210
And then getting in touch with
the company and providing them

00:00:45.210 --> 00:00:47.340
with the right candidates for the role.

00:00:47.340 --> 00:00:51.880
The headhunters are rewarded in terms of
compensation, when they actually make a fill.

00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:57.260
So they're basically working for free until
they find the right candidate who gets an offer

00:00:57.260 --> 00:00:59.520
and accepts the offer for that roll.

00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:02.210
Hence, why it's so important to have
the right connections and be able

00:01:02.210 --> 00:01:05.470
to find the right companies that
you're able to provide candidates for.

00:01:05.470 --> 00:01:08.730
There's two different signs of
the clientele for, you know,

00:01:08.730 --> 00:01:10.580
the way that our business
models kind of set out.

00:01:10.580 --> 00:01:11.780
There's the employers side.

00:01:11.780 --> 00:01:16.280
And then there's also the recruiting side; the
headhunters side, which is what I work with.

00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:20.600
So our employer reps bring on
board new employers who are looking

00:01:20.600 --> 00:01:25.040
to use the Bounty Job site as a platform to
find the best recruiters in the industry.

00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:29.090
Whereas what I'm doing on my side
of things is then on-boarding

00:01:29.090 --> 00:01:32.200
and trading the headhunters
to appropriately use the site.

00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:34.390
Find the right type of employers.

00:01:34.390 --> 00:01:36.970
And ultimately make a connection.

00:01:36.970 --> 00:01:39.880
In a way I'm almost playing like a matchmaker.

00:01:39.880 --> 00:01:42.260
I'm kind of finding out what the strengths are

00:01:42.260 --> 00:01:44.830
for each specific headhunter
in my training class.

00:01:44.830 --> 00:01:47.530
And then putting them in
touch with the right employers

00:01:47.530 --> 00:01:51.510
who have the right types
of positions on the site.

00:01:51.510 --> 00:01:55.260
