HF contacts through PB

I want to move from my current seat and given I'm not in London (I'm based in continental Europe) my network isn't huge. Will work on that, but how safe is it to go through the prime brokers we work with to send my CV out to other HFs? Is that lacking any kind of discretion and will backfire on day 1 as my colleagues will get the news soon?
