Will a recruitment agency reveal my job application?
Hi everyone, I have a question. I accidentally applied for a job through the recruitment agency that my current boss uses. I’m concerned—will they inform my boss about my application? Is there an expectation of confidentiality with these agencies?

It’s understandable to feel concerned about applying for a job through a recruitment agency that your current employer uses. Generally, reputable recruitment agencies should prioritize confidentiality and professionalism. Most agencies have privacy policies in place that prevent them from disclosing job applications to anyone, including your current employer, without your consent.
However, it’s always a good idea to communicate your concerns directly with the agency. You can ask them about their privacy policies and how they handle situations like yours. If you’re still worried, you might want to consider applying to other agencies or exploring opportunities that don’t involve your current employer’s recruitment channel. Good luck!
