The new company sent me an offer, but I found that the salary and social security were paid by Shanghai Foreign Service Company. I asked the headhunter whether to sign a contract or a company.

You are an outsourcer, and your social security and provident fund are actually paid by Shanghai Foreign Service. If you go to the social security center, it will also show that it is a Shanghai foreign service. Some contracts are signed with the company, and some are signed with foreign service. Signing a contract with a company is personnel outsourcing, and signing a contract with a foreign service is labor outsourcing. Dig deeper, there must be a difference between the two. As for whether it will affect the settlement, I suggest you consult the social security center and check the policy.

Headhunter, which means a person looking for talents, helps excellent enterprises find the talents they need. Another way of saying this word is called advanced talent search. "Head" refers to the place where wisdom and talents are concentrated, and "headhunting" can also refer to the act of hunting talents, that is, discovering, tracking, evaluating, selecting and providing senior talents.

In foreign countries, this is a very popular way to recruit talents. It is translated as "headhunting" in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and also called headhunting in Chinese mainland, which means "recruiting senior talents or excavating high-end talents".

Headhunters' English is headhunting, which comes from Latin. It originally refers to American cannibal tribes. Cut off the other person's head when fighting and hang it around his waist as a show off. It was really called headhunting after World War II.

After the victory of some countries in Europe and America, they looked for the scientists they needed from Germany and many other countries. Just like jungle hunting, they send professional companies everywhere to help them find better people. Later, the word was borrowed to become a hunter, and its original meaning was brought to China, called headhunting.

Summarized as follows:

Headhunting is very different from general enterprise recruitment, talent recommendation and employment introduction services. Headhunters always focus on people with high academic qualifications, high positions and high prices. It looks for professionals and management talents with higher education, rich practical experience and excellent performance. In short, headhunting can be understood as an intermediary for senior talents and acts as a "matchmaker" for senior talents and enterprises.
