I use only personal devices and accountsNo employer laptop, phone, email, calendar, cloud storage, or printer. My resume and files live in private storagePersonal folder names, personal backups, and no shared-workspace links. Profile-change broadcasts are turned offI reviewed visibility settings before changing headlines, skills, or experience. I reviewed “Open to Work” visibilityI understand recruiter-only visibility reduces—but cannot eliminate—discovery risk. Interviews use personal time and locationsNo company rooms, calendar details, Wi-Fi, headset, or rides. I tell contacts exactly what “confidential” meansNo public comments, tags, forwarding, or outreach to my current employer. I know my policy and agreement boundariesOutside work, conflicts, confidentiality, non-solicitation, and use of work product. I have a clean reference planReferences know when they may be contacted and which channels to use.

02 — THE SYSTEM

Small surface.
Strong signal.

A stealth search works best when it is narrow, relationship-led, and easy to contain.

TARGET

Choose 20 companies

Focus on two role families and employers outside obvious conflict zones.

SEPARATE

Create clean channels

Personal email, voicemail, calendar, storage, browser profile, and video setup.

TRUST

Build a small circle

Five former colleagues, clients, advisors, or recruiters who understand discretion.

TRACK

Record every disclosure

Who knows, what they know, follow-up dates, and any current-employer connections.

03 — WHAT TO SAY

Make confidentiality explicit

CONTACT

A trusted connection

“I’m quietly exploring [role]. Please keep this between us—no public activity or outreach to anyone at my current company.”

RECRUITER

Before sharing a resume

“Please do not submit or disclose my information anywhere without my written approval, especially to [company/group].”

INTERVIEW

Scheduling

“I’m employed and keeping this confidential. Could we use early morning, lunch, or late-day times and a neutral calendar title?”

05 — FAQ

Quiet-search questions

Is recruiter-only “Open to Work” completely private?+

No setting can guarantee that information will never reach your employer. Treat recruiter-only visibility as one risk reduction, review the platform’s current terms, and make your own decision based on sensitivity.

Can I interview during the workday?+

Use personal time and personal equipment. Follow workplace policies, avoid misrepresenting hours, and keep calendar details neutral without falsifying records.

Can I use work samples?+

Only use material you are authorized to share. Remove confidential, proprietary, client, and personal information. When in doubt, recreate a generic example from scratch or describe the outcome without showing the artifact.
