To headhunt is to look for a person who already has the right skills — often someone in a good job — and try to pull them away to work for you instead. Companies headhunt engineers, doctors, managers. The word is business English; it feels a little sharp, like a hunt. Though actually, headhunt is the doing, not the person. The person (or the firm) who does this is a headhunter. Some people loosely say “a headhunt” for the search itself. Nobody in an office means a real hunt for a head; the picture is borrowed, and it is meant to sound fierce about talent, not about violence.
