Why You’ll Regret Your Covert Search for a Key Hire
Co-authored by Bob Spence and Alec Broadfoot
Have you ever had an employee who you knew you needed to fire but you put it off because they were in such an important position that letting them go would be painful and costly? Sometimes when key leaders find themselves in this position, they will ask a recruiter to keep the search quiet because they don’t want the “problem employee” to get wind of it.
At VisionSpark, we sometimes get inquires about these “confidential searches,” where we are asked to conduct a search while the current person is still employed in their role — unaware that a search is underway for their position. We refuse these requests every time. Instead, we recommend having a conversation with the person currently employed in that role about the next steps — whether that is a termination (“36 hours of pain”), or changing roles, etc.
Continue reading to learn why a confidential search is bad for everyone involved — including your business!
