Are you even sure you have the right person?

Is this perhaps an old resume that was submitted 6 months ago to your system?

Do you tell a client/friend that his key employee applied for a job with me?

She has a right to privacy.

Jdoc

Yes, and you have a right to give it to her. Why would you even think about it?

Tell him. Having been in that client's position, it helps him stop spending in

I would not tell him. Don't get involved.

She has no right to privacy, however I’d only tell her employer if they’re a friend, like in your case.

and odds are this employee will also leave you when you don't expect it.

I have 0 interest in her for my co. The money from him as a client is minimal,

I'm 1000% sure its her, she lists herself on her resume as a self-employed

BYUfan92

Ok, that makes more sense. Well, isn't part of your contract or relationship

I wonder if dropping participation in insurance is what prompted her to look for

She is the one pushing it and telling him its a good idea - major risk for him

Then you should tell him. She doesn't have a right to privacy and she's leaving

I’d tell him.

It’s not a legally enforceable expectation,

Jdoc

The ethics are unclear, and I value my friends more than an unknown job

Archaea

8:15am

Good point

Jdoc

8:17am

I would tell him.

Seems like it would be poor form to reveal something she hasn’t decided to

Some friend you are.

Archaea

I think any potential employer has an ethical obligation to applicants

Not yo those that lie or obfuscate. Employers

On balance, if one of my top people was applying to a friends business I'd 100%

You might do that, but other employers might fire that employee.

Jdoc

You are overlooking the fact she didn't disclose where she's working.

Archaea

Depends on the value of the employee and how easily replaceable they'd be.

Maybe your friend is a bad boss. Can’t blame someone for wanting a change.

He’s definitely too nice / pretty passive

BYUfan92

As someone in your friends/clients position. I'd really appreciate the heads up.

Powerbait DPM

I get that you want your staff to feel valuable, but having employees that are "so valuable you can't afford to lose

Well yeah, you can't pigeon hole yourself into a situation like that. There

If you were the applicant, would you want your boss to be told?

Nope. And thats why its a dilemma - because if I'm in the same position as

I think there are ways to broach the subject without disclosing specific info.

rcbyufan

Yeah, your friend already lost his opportunity to make that employee not want to look for another job.
