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,

6 months, and she's not even mentioning this on her resume? This doesn't add up

rcbyufan

7:44am

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

BYUfan92

7:49am

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

8:02am

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.

Some friend you are.

Archaea

I think any potential employer has an ethical obligation to applicants

MarylandFan

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

8:03am

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.

The issue I see is that is what you would want

Most people don’t know employers can see when people are active on indeed

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

Magneto

He’s definitely too nice / pretty passive

BYUfan92

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

Powerbait DPM

9:19am

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

BYUfan92

10:12am

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

rcbyufan

10:26am

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