FAQ

Can I apply confidentially if my current employer is in your network?

Yes, also when your current employer is part of the CourtesyMasters network. Share any sensitivities during our first conversation and we will handle your profile with complete discretion. We agree with you in advance which employers may or may not be approached, and your CV is never shared without your approval.

Detailed answer

A legitimate concern, handled deliberately

Yes, confidential applications remain possible even when your current employer is part of the CourtesyMasters network, and this is one of the situations where the house's discretion matters most. It is a legitimate concern: quietly exploring a move while your employer is a client could, in theory, create an awkward overlap if it were not handled with care.

How the overlap gets avoided in practice

In practice, this is handled by asking you to share any sensitivities during the first conversation, so the house knows from the start exactly what needs protecting. Your profile is then treated with complete discretion, and critically, which employers may or may not be approached with your details gets agreed with you in advance. Nothing moves without that agreement.

What this means for your current employer

Your CV itself is never shared without your explicit consent, which means even a strong match at your own employer would never surface without your prior agreement. The aim is that you can explore possibilities safely, without creating risk for your current position. Discuss your situation confidentially via our contact page.
