Here are concise, paraphrased definitions for each term:
- Headhunter
- A professional (often working for an external search firm) who proactively seeks and approaches qualified candidates—frequently passive or senior-level professionals—for specific open roles. Headhunters commonly work on retained or contingency searches and focus on targeted outreach rather than waiting for applicants.
- Job fair
- A scheduled event (in-person or virtual) where multiple employers and job seekers meet to share information, conduct brief interviews, and explore hiring opportunities. Job fairs are often organized by universities, industry groups, or community agencies.
- Job posting
- A public announcement describing an open position, its responsibilities, qualifications, location, and application instructions. Job postings appear on company career pages, job boards, social media, and in other recruitment channels.
- LinkedIn
- A professional social network and online platform for building career-related profiles, connecting with colleagues and industry peers, sharing professional content, and searching for jobs and talent.
- Networking
- The intentional process of building and maintaining relationships with people who can provide information, referrals, support, or opportunities relevant to one’s career or business goals.
- Professional network
- The collection of work- and industry-related contacts—colleagues, former coworkers, mentors, clients, and acquaintances—who can offer career information, advice, referrals, or collaboration.
- Recruiter
- Someone who sources, screens, and helps place candidates for job openings. Recruiters can be internal (employed by the hiring organization) or external (working for staffing firms or agencies), and they may handle parts or the full recruitment lifecycle.
- Second-degree connection
- (Commonly used on LinkedIn) A person who is directly connected to one of your first-degree contacts but not to you; you share at least one mutual connection (a “friend of a friend”).
- Staffing agency
- A company that matches workers to employers, often providing temporary, contract, or temp-to-perm placements and handling administrative tasks like payroll and compliance on behalf of the worker or client.
- Third-degree connection
- (On platforms like LinkedIn) A person who is connected to one of your second-degree contacts but not directly to you—effectively two intermediaries away from a direct connection.
- Trade journal
- A periodical focused on a specific profession or industry that publishes news, analysis, technical articles, and trends for practitioners; trade journals often include job listings and industry advertising.
