CONFIDENTIALITY
By its very nature, an executive
search requires you to divulge highly sensitive information about
your organization. The search consultant must treat any and all
information you give them with the utmost confidentiality.
At the same time, the consultant cannot conduct an effective
search without making some information available to potential
candidates. To protect your interests, however, the search
consultant should guarantee that he or she will:
-
Use confidential
client information only for the purposes of conducting the
assignment.
-
Disclose client
information only to others within the search firm (who may be
supporting the consultant on this assignment) or potential
candidates who have a need to know the information.
Never use confidential information
for personal gain or provide that information to third parties for
their personal gain.
