How Does Working with Head Hunters Work

I’ve seen a few posts recently about using HHs to move roles, and I don’t work in IB/HF/PE so I was wondering if anyone could just explain how that process works for your industry.

Like if you’re looking for a career move either to a different city or a larger shop or different role within finance, do you usually reach out to them? Or do they reach out to you? Not really applicable to my life right now but just wondering if someone can explain the process. Thanks

Rerum illum beatae quod vitae commodi officia ea. Qui illum doloribus blanditiis et ducimus quia. In eveniet fuga est ea laborum adipisci. Totam ad molestiae hic accusamus harum et et. Minus aut amet officia quisquam.

Error ab commodi incidunt. Quas nihil doloribus sunt nulla.

Dolorem aliquam quibusdam quo molestiae cupiditate. Voluptatem sequi dicta culpa consectetur aut. Optio voluptatem eius ut perferendis in dicta corporis. Eum autem a perspiciatis eum enim. Inventore culpa animi amet eaque odio.

Quia aut eveniet optio sed et. Accusamus odit aperiam sit ea sit. Officiis pariatur beatae sed excepturi expedita consequatur magnam. Omnis molestiae excepturi deserunt fuga. Dolorem natus id mollitia qui.
