Headhunter sent my resume over to a fund without my permission

I’m 90% sure one of the team members is very close with my lead analyst and this will almost certainly get back to him. Feel pretty betrayed…What should I do?

I never would have gave the green light had I known the firm ahead of time, but since the damage was done I just politely asked the head hunter to run things by me first.

This isn’t like mercury partners or Shelby Jennings; it’s a firm that seemed to have good reviews on here

Unfortunately there's not much you really can do. Like you said, damage is done. Would there be significant fallout if it does get back to your analyst?
