Yesterday a headhunter contacted me about the same job for which I had

interview that week.

Funny I just saw Forest Gump oin TV the other night.

Did you make it clear to the HH that you already were interviewing
there. He is not going to get any finder fee, so he should back off.
But also be careful he doesn't then try to sabotage you. So stay aware
of contact with the company. If the HH is somewhat ethical, there
should be no problems. But you won't know for sure until you get an
offer. The company should be able to deal with the HH without
affecting you.

I had a similar situation once where a HH found out after I had an
offer from a company. He had sent me on other interviews, just not
that one. (I was working with a couple HHs at the time.) He said
basically "why didn't you tell me you wanted to work there? My wife is
a manager there." and then made some remarks that made it sound like
he was going to try to get the commision. I let my new manager know
and they dealt with it.

So watch carefully how your application is progressing.
