Headhunters don’t really exist anymore. There’s external recruiters who you can develop a relationship and if a job hits their desk hopefully they will reach out to you. But a headhunter in the sense of the 80s/90s who you could pay to do networking for you and find you a job doesn’t really exist anymore. There might be some on the creative side. If I’m wrong someone let me know because I’ve been unemployed for two years.

No not working right now. Can’t even get freelance opps.
