Questions for headhunters?

What questions to you typically ask head hunters when they tell you about a new opportunity?

The basics I ask are below:

  • Culture and team size
  • Office locations
  • Regions & sectors
  • Insights on investment strategy
  • Latest fund size & date raised
  • Typical deal check
  • Interview process and timeline (how many rounds, what they consist of, who you will meet)
