Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: High-level talent is a critical factor in the global movement of industries, and headhunting-an essential component of the human resources services sector-plays a key role in facilitating talent mobility and optimizing talent allocation. This study analyzes journal articles related to high-level talent recruitment (headhunting) indexed in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database using content analysis. The findings reveal an increasing number of publications on this topic, with Beijing, Guangdong, and Jiangsu provinces leading in research output. In terms of research methods, qualitative approaches are more prevalent, while quantitative and mixed-method studies are less common. The research trends can be classified into three main areas: policies for attracting high-level talent, the effect of the business environment on talent clustering, and the development of the headhunting industry alongside talent cultivation.
