Do headhunting agencies exist that work with candidates to get them into desired roles? If yes any recommendations? (Of course I don’t mean they assure you a role, but rather work with you through the process to ensure you’ve got a good chance) - especially for leadership opportunities?

Not really.

And to put a point on it, they all will say they do — but they get paid by the people trying to fill the role, not by the candidate. So they’ll take your resume and have a conversation with you to hear what you’re interested in, but then it’s a crapshoot whether they get a req for a role that matches your needs.

Cast a wide net, that’s a better bet. Every headhunter firm will take your initial call.

Thanks. Helpful.

Currently going through some negations on an internal role. I’m currently at 88k and they offered me 100k for a position that requires a lot more work. Do you guys think it’s easier to land a higher salary when applying externally rather than internally? Also this is for a territory sales management role. They stated 120k+ is extremely high for that role. What do you guys think? Playing the game?
