It’s probably just some simple tasks you need to perform on MS Office to demonstrate you know the program. I wouldn’t worry too much if you already use MSO before.

Headhunting firms hire for executive positions - Hedrick & Struggles, Egon Zender, Korn Ferry, Neumann etc...

Recruitment agencies are the usual ones you see in the papers, Robert Walters, Kelly, Manpower, GMP, Michael Page, Recruit Express, Talent2, Ranstad, Adecco etc.

What's the definition of executive? Fresh grad or need experience?

There's no clear definition, it depends on the firm in question.

Generally most headhunting firms will avoid assignments where the salary of the position is below 30k.

Then really not much difference between headhunter & recruit agencies, my understanding is most deg grads are already starting at >30k.
