Excellent article! I’d like to add an important point:

For director-level roles (and certain specialist positions), headhunters fill about 95% of these roles through direct search.

This means they rely heavily on LinkedIn as their primary database to identify and map talent.

For executives, having an optimized LinkedIn profile is far more critical than having a polished resume.

Your profile’s visibility in search results can make or break your chances of being approached.
