Keeping a job search confidential can sound like an uphill task in a close knit world. But, with a little caution you can, says, Anumeha Chaturvedi.
Rope in a Consultant..!
It is a small world at the senior level & in sectors like textiles, everyone knows everyone. A trusted consultant will keep ones identity anonymous, says Mr. Harshit Bhavsar, MD, Universal Hunt - HR solutions firm.
Stay Blind on Portals..!
Most job portals provide the option of creating a blind profile which can keep ones name & designation hidden. Professionals could also avoid mentioning looking for new jobs on popular portals such as LinkedIn, says Mr. Harshit Bhavsar.
Do not Search in Office..!
Never use office computers, telephones & mails for job search, warns Mr. Joseph Devasia, Managing Partner, Antal International Network - Recruitment firm. Also, do not log in to social media platforms at the time of interviews.
Take the Day Off..!
Senior professionals should request for a meeting at a neutral location & take the day off for interviews.
Give Safe References..!
If providing references is inevitable before an offer, one should refrain from mentioning current colleagues and peers, says Mr. Joseph Devasia. Make sure the references have no vested interest & are people one knows closely, adds Mr. Harshit Bhavsar.
