Comment on: Blog Post 'Recruiters, stop stalking your candidates': d their entire lives have been documented like the Truman Show. From a privacy standpoint if you consent to having your photo taken with a friend, do you de facto consent to have your photo posted? I think it becomes an ethics question of knowing when to draw the line in our candidate "research"…; Added by Daniel Fogel at 10:30am on June 29, 2015

Topic: Has disclosure gone out the window?: s a combination of common sense and courtesy. This year I've seen an erosion in the industry to this. Recent case on point: the number of candidates that we're recruiting whose resumes are "out there" on the job boards and have been "spammed" to death, without their knowledge. I just got off the phone with a senior level medical professional. She had posted her resume 15 minutes ago. Yes, 15 minutes. Within the half hour of our conversation, I went to present her to one of our clients. They had ALREADY been presented with her resume. Yes, while I was actually having a conversation with her, someone else swooped in, and sent her over, without her knowledge or consent. I called the candidate back and she was astounded. This is the third person this month this has happened to. All of them are senior level managers. I cannot compromise my ethics and work this way, but it certainly seems like nice girls are finishing last.…; Added by Suzanne Goldman at 1:21pm on June 19, 2009

Comment on: Blog Post 'What to do when the client has filled the role': they pass their details on to you. If you met them at a networking event, then everyone is there to share their details. There's an implied consent if I give you my business card at one of these events that you can pass it on to other people (that is what a business card is for after all). However when a candidate applies for a job, that implied consent is harder to prove. Sure if they sign up with an agency the consent is considerably more than implied - what they WANT is for the agency to promote them to multiple opportunities (though it should be noted that when we do this we anonymise the CV initially, unless we have spoken to the candidate about the specific vacancy and received their expressed permission). In terms of an employer passing on their details though - I'm really not sure. All they've consented to at that point is to be considered for that role. In particular if they are already in work, it could be very damaging to them if their current employer was not aware they are job searching and they find out as an indirect result of a hiring manager being loose with their details.…; Added by Nigel Coxon at 3:58am on April 12, 2013

Comment on: Topic 'Digging Into RecruitngBlogs.com v1.15': to make this worse we make the excuse that since everyone is doing it it is okay. It is not okay to take conversations or any material for that matter without consent just for the purpose of driving traffic or directing opinion even if has become standard practice. There are two issues that been talked about the primary one being privacy but the other one, though alluded to, has yet to be defined and that is plagiarism. Webster defines plagiarism as "to use (another's production) without crediting the source". Rob called it regurtitating material, but call regurtitating, content scraping or whatever you will, taking someone elses material without consent it is plagiarism. Content used without permission undermines the credibility of the perpetrator and that which our industry is trying to build.…; Added by Moises Lopez at 5:06pm on August 15, 2008
