As labor shortages become a norm for businesses, an increasing number of companies are willing to invest their budgets in headhunting to find talent. However, whether it is a domestic or international headhunting firm, the most important factor remains the competition of talent databases and understanding of the industry. Kiwi Lin, the General Manager of Accurate Global Co., Ltd., states that every headhunting firm is different and has its own strengths and advantages. The key to Accurate’s  long-term cooperation with numerous companies lies in the "service value" provided when matching talent.
 
20 Years of Experience: Understanding Industry Trends and Talent Market Shifts
 
Kiwi Lin explains that Accurate is a new brand that was spun off from the high-level talent unit of 1111 Job Bank. The group has been providing talent acquisition services for over 20 years. With extensive industry experience and a powerful database, Accurate has successfully recruited senior professional managers, forward-thinking senior technical supervisors, and even helped startups form R&D teams.
 
A professional headhunting firm doesn't only provide talent matching; the essence of headhunting service lies in precisely understanding industry changes and talent trends, offering businesses in-depth market analysis and advice. Kiwi Lin points out that the difficulty in recruitment today is often due to companies setting requirements in the early stages that do not align with market realities. If companies are unaware of the current talent market situation, they may find it hard to recruit suitable candidates.
 
She provides an example from past cases where a company wanted to hire a technical supervisor with over five years of industry experience and three years of management experience but offered a salary 30% lower than the market rate. In such cases, Accurate's consultants will use market data to recommend adjustments to salary and job requirements, helping businesses balance between realistic salary levels and talent needs. In the end, the company accepted their professional advice and successfully found a qualified candidate who has performed well to this day.
 
Kiwi Lin notes that the extensive talent network Accurate has built over the years can guide businesses in the right recruitment direction. This is one of Accurate’s biggest advantages over other headhunting firms. The company aims to offer businesses professional and objective advice from the start of the talent matching process, helping them find the right candidates to meet their current needs.
 
The Talent Advisor to Business Owners: Solving the Labor Shortage Issue in the Industry
 
Addressing the widespread labor shortage in various industries, Kiwi Lin points out that headhunting services, once mainly used by the high-tech industry, are now in demand across all sectors. As businesses raise their requirements for talent, every company wants to recruit the top-tier, most talented individuals. However, in today’s "job-seeker's market," top talent has more options when choosing a job.
 
Kiwi Lin highlights a common misconception among many businesses: using headhunting services guarantees finding the right candidate. This is not always the case. While headhunting services provide a broader array of resources and channels to help businesses attract candidates that meet their needs, it still depends on whether the candidates are attracted to the company. Whether they can be successfully placed depends on the overall planning of the company's talent and job roles. If the company’s talent expectations are set too high, corresponding elements such as employee benefits, salary, and retention plans must also be attractive. Otherwise, well-qualified candidates may not be interested in joining.
 
Therefore, Accurate takes a detailed approach when offering recruitment services, carefully understanding the hierarchical structure of the position, the job responsibilities, the future development direction, and comparing the company’s human resource requirements. If certain conditions are not essential, they may recommend adding some flexibility to improve the chances of successful recruitment.
 
AI Technology Integration and Unconstrained Services: Providing More Diverse Human Resource Solutions
 
Unlike some headhunting firms that intentionally raise salary offers for candidates to increase service fees, Accurate aims to take a balanced and empathetic approach. Besides finding the right talent for companies, they also negotiate the most suitable salary increases for candidates. Additionally, they proactively advise companies on retention strategies, as every employee is a long-term asset to the company. Retaining trained employees not only enhances business stability but also provides them with career development and a sense of belonging within the company.
 
Although Kiwi Lin has extensive experience in human resources, she acknowledges that the challenge of recruiting talent has grown more difficult in recent years. However, she notes that Accurate Recruitment has already implemented AI technology to reduce the workload of staff and improve overall efficiency. Moving forward, the company hopes to match business opportunities and provide services for more enterprises. Accurate also intends to move beyond the traditional role of a human resources agency and explore various commercial cooperation models, providing more diverse services to both businesses and talent.
