Maintaining confidentiality during the hiring process is essential. It’s crucial to uphold strict confidentiality when interviewing candidates or as part of the process. Under no circumstances should you discuss a candidate’s information with anyone else. Put yourself in their shoes and consider the possible impact on your employment if the confidentiality of your job search were compromised. Remind your staff to do the same. Even innocent comments made in public settings can have disastrous consequences. When unsure, it’s best to keep quiet about other people’s business.
