pack hunter

Group-stalking carnivore

A pack hunter is an animal that hunts cooperatively with others of its species rather than alone.

Wolves, wild dogs, and lions are classic examples—they coordinate to take down prey larger or faster than any individual could manage.

The term extends to humans working in groups: Corporate recruiters operate like pack hunters, sharing leads and closing deals together.
