If they are headhunters, they are mostly thinking about the dollar sign rather than the prestige. Most headhunters get 20-25% of your annual salary if they can place you somewhere else. And don't forget, they are competing with other headhunters as well. So someone from Google will get a easy yes and a nice fat paycheck.

I've observed a mix of headhunters and company recruiters, although it can be a bit hard to tell them apart for smaller startups.
