Will a recruitment agency notify my employer?
Hi recruiters, I made a mistake today by applying for a job through the recruitment agency that my boss uses. Should I be concerned that they’ll inform my boss? Do agencies have privacy policies in place to protect job seekers?

It’s understandable to be concerned about confidentiality in this situation. Most recruitment agencies prioritize the privacy of candidates and generally have strict policies in place to protect your information. They typically shouldn’t disclose your job application to your current employer without your consent.
However, practices can vary between agencies, so it’s a good idea to clarify this directly with them if you have concerns. You might also want to mention your current employment situation when discussing your application, which can help reassure you that they will handle your information with care. Good luck!
