Maybe, but I’ve rarely gotten more than one offer from a given headhunter—actually, I’ve gotten multiple offers from one company more often than through one headhunting agency. Reading between the lines, I get the impression that most of them have a library of openings and look in real time for candidates matching them, rarely going into their back catalog.
Multiple offers might be more common for people with less specialized skillsets than mine, though.

This is true… but you should be getting back in touch with the headhunter every three months or so, to make sure you’re in the front of the catalog instead of the back :).
