i got head hunted, so it was quite easy for me. they came to my university to recruit new blood. Be well a well rounded professional. There is more to it than just being out there. Head-hunters will target you if you are well rounded in your career. The head-hunters I know seek people who have developed themselves and contributed to their industry. As starting points they may search the web for people who’ve published, spoken at conferences , perhaps volunteered their professional skills or even set up a blog.
