Examples of headhunting in the following topics:
-
- Many rituals involved the bisj poles, including dancing, masquerading, singing, and headhunting—all performed by men.
- Bisj poles often had a receptacle at the base that was meant to hold the heads of enemies taken on headhunting missions.
- Although the practice of headhunting ended in the Asmat region in the 1970s, the poles are still used in rituals today.
-
- Headhunters and recruitment services: These outside services are designed to essentially compile a talent pool for a company; however they can be extremely expensive.
- Although this service can be extremely efficient in providing qualified applicants for specialized or highly demanded job positions the rate for the services provided by headhunters can range from 20 to 35 per cent of the new recruit's annual salary if the individual is hired (Heathfield, Recruiting Stars: Top Ten Ideas for Recruiting Great Candidates).

- Headhunters and corporate scouting initiatives are also an important attribute of a well-designed diversity-recruitment initiative.
