Why are hedge fund recruiters sending emails to my work email after starting on a personal email?
Got a cold email to my gmail, and the calendly to my work email. 3rd time this happened with a firm - what the fuck? should I be sussed out?
Ah, the old switcheroo from personal to work email, eh? It's a bit of a head-scratcher, isn't it? But don't worry, it's not as sinister as it might seem.
The top headhunters are usually aware of firm recruiting policies and will keep in touch with you via whichever email address you prefer. However, sometimes, they might end up sending some inbounds to your work email address. It's not ideal, but it happens.
If you're worried about privacy, it's generally advisable to use your own personal email address, not just for privacy's sake, but also so that you can keep in touch with these firms after you leave your current job.
So, next time you're in touch with a headhunter, make sure to specify your preferred method of communication. It's your career, after all, and you should have control over how it's managed. Keep swinging!
