HH Discretion
What's protocol for a headhunter's discretion around your application if they work with your current employer? Currently an Associate at a MM PE that uses one headhunter which I worked with closely through my hiring process. That same HH is managing a process for a VC that I'm interested in (looking to exit to VC/Growth Equity). I dropped a resume directly to the fund but now I suspect that that HH will be handling initial screens. Will this get back to my employer? I've avoided anything posted by them in the past but am afraid I may be stumbling into a situation where my re-recruiting is discovered

It is general best practice to avoid working with the same head hunter that your existing employer utilizes. While it is beneficial for them to maintain discretion, think about how your employer would react if they found out the head hunter they pay helped you get a new job.
Thanks PIK. For some context I've been at the fund for three years so hopefully that figures in my favor
Seems like that would incentivize the HH to keep things under wraps then if they proceed w/ you. They might just refuse to work with you
Edit: Reached out to my contacts and 1 firm said they flat out won't work with you if your current firm is a client (regardless of if they placed you or not), another said they can but need express permission from your boss to do so.
most reputable headhunters won't work with you if they placed you at your current employer
