Best way to politely decline Headhunter opportunities but keep the channel open for future opportunities?
Hey all
Have been getting a lot of headhunter calls recently and am not totally sure how best to take them. Situation is I want to stay where I'm at for this year while I complete the CFA L3 & get the Charterholder, and complete some personal projects while I have the time (which my job here allows for given it's about 45hrs per week these days). Going to another firm will naturally place other demands to get to know the team / work aggressively to establish myself / etc which won't leave time for these things for at least 1-2yrs.
That said, I am probably 80% sure I want to leave this firm in a year and recruit for an analyst position in a specific city. What's the best way to let headhunters know you are not interested in the opportunity they are presenting to you right now but want to keep the dialogue open to look for more aggressively for new opps in a year or so?

Hope that helps.
I currently intern at a headhunter/executive search firm and the one that I intern at usually tries to network with candidates anyways, even if they are not interested in the role. So don’t worry if you reject headhunters for roles. They don’t care really.
As long as your profile fits a description that a hf/AM client is looking for, they will continue to call you.
But you can always tell them “sry this opportunity doesn’t really fit me at my current stage. if possible, can you consider me for other opportunities in the future?”
