used to be different, but now almost same.
recruiter used to be just "outsource HR" personnel who performed recruitment process
headhunter does little of what a recruiter does, instead, focuses on building their network of contacts in an industry so that they can locate a good candidate.
because of LinkedIn, a recruiter can easily build a network of contacts just like headhunter does, a headhunter is also required to perform HR function like screening and interviewing as a value-added service.
how they get paid is usually subject to the contract, mostly a fixed monthly fee + commission.
