Hospitality Talent Scouts – Social Networking Policy

Due to the confidential and sensitive nature of Hospitality Talent Scouts’ business, we are unable to join LinkedIn Networks for the following reasons, which could potentially negatively affect both a client’s and a candidate’s confidentiality.

Client Confidentiality – Some of our clients contract with us on a regular basis to perform Confidential Searches. A Confidential Search is used by an employer wanting us to source candidates to replace a current employee without the knowledge of that employee. Clients contract with us to be able to perform these types of searches without exposing their identity. Connecting with clients on LinkedIn exposes our relationship with a client and thus violates confidentiality.

Candidate Confidentiality – Candidates as well as clients that connect themselves with Hospitality Recruiters through LinkedIn often innocently expose to their current employers that they may be seeking alternative employment. We attempt to protect candidates from accidently doing this.

We do welcome both clients and candidates to view our profiles on LinkedIn, which are public. We also welcome both clients and candidates to attempt to connect with us through LinkedIn so that we may be aware of your presence and desire to get to know us; however, we will not accept the request, in order to protect your confidentiality.

For candidates, we ask that in addition to your request to connect with us on LinkedIn, you also E-mail your resume to our attention at info@hospitalitytalentscouts.com.

For clients, we ask that in addition to your request to connect with us on LinkedIn, you also E-mail your contact and VCard information to us at info@hospitalitytalentscouts.com.
