Are CVs sent to headhunters always held confidentially..? Any bad experiences out there?





Generally, they are pretty
Generally, they are pretty good from my experience. I have never had a problem. Discretion is kind of their thing. However, it wouldn't surprise me if there were a few exceptions to the rule out there.
I have never had anything
I have never had anything truly bad happen as a result of a headhunter having my resume. But I have discovered my resume was sent to hiring firms without the search firm informing me in advance. The potential issue here is when a "bad" headhunter (one that blasts resumes around without really pitching candidates) sends your resume to a firm and jeopardizes a "good" headhunter's fee for presenting you to that firm in the future.
