Key Questions to Ask a Potential Tech Headhunter

Ask about their recent placements, technical screening process, candidate ownership, and fee structure.

Ask the headhunter: “How many software-engineering placements have you completed in the UAE during the last year?” Clarify how candidates are sourced, technically screened, reference-checked, and assessed for notice period, salary expectations, and availability. At Davidson Tech Solutions, we answer these specifically and ensure thorough screening for roles like a Backend Engineer. Request the expected timeline, communication frequency, and discuss whether the search is exclusive. A credible recruiter will provide clear timelines and transparent fee structures rather than promising an unrealistic shortlist within hours.
