Real-Life Recruitment Ethics Dilemmas for New Advice Column

VERY excited this Friday to introduce two things we’ve been quietly building: The Head Global Career Studio and our new advice column: “Dear Recruitment Ethicist”! This advice column will be part the larger Career Studio project we are pouring our time (and hearts!) into right now, which we’ll be unveiling in the coming weeks as a career content hub and community platform for purpose-driven professionals. Get excited, comment "Career Studio" below, and we'll make sure we send you an email when it's ready. As we were building the Career Studio, Yaniv and I were reminiscing about how much we loved reading The Ethicist column in The New York Times back when we lived in DC. It’s always been one of those things that sticks with you because it tackles the messy, human side of decision-making. Which got us thinking about our own world. Recruitment is full of ethical gray areas, yet we almost never talk about them out in the open. Job seekers are often left wondering if they’re being "fair" or just being "smart." Should you tell a recruiter you’re interviewing elsewhere? Is it okay to keep exploring roles after you’ve already accepted an offer? What do you do when a salary range is intentionally kept vague? But it goes both ways. As recruiters ourselves, we believe ethics isn’t a buzzword. It’s about how we treat candidates and how we advise the organizations we work with. So we’re starting a new advice column: Dear Recruitment Ethicist. We want to create a space where we can untangle these dilemmas together. Whether you are a candidate trying to navigate a tricky offer or an organization wanting to do right by your applicants, we want to hear from you! In the meantime, we are building out the content and we want your real-life situations to be the foundation of it. If you’ve faced an ethical dilemma during your job search or while hiring, we want to hear about it. I’m sharing a Google Form in the comments where you can submit your questions anonymously. Your situation might be the first one we tackle when we launch or in the months to follow! So...let us know: What’s the toughest ethical dilemma you’ve faced in hiring or job searching? #RecruitmentEthics #Hiring #JobSearch #Careers #SocialImpactCareers
