Why would u ever give them your work number, personal phone number or real email address? Give them your spam info...google voice number and spam email account.
Further I've never experienced a recruiter calling my current place of work (wouldn't he or she be fired?) and I often am and or can be vague re: where I'm actually working. Especially if you note you are working for some random govt. or contracting company.
- joezydeco 10y agoI list my current company, branch location, and personal email address NOT my company one. No phone numbers at all. Recruiters will still call the main company number and ask to be transferred to me. We're not a large place, so a receptionist physically takes the call. Oh yeah, she also serves as secretary for the VPs and our HR department. And I still get email at my company address. We have a pretty standard first.last@company format. I could choose to obsfucate my employer and location, but IMO that kind of defeats the purpose of keeping my profile current.
- LargeCompanies 10y agoWell that while your not looking(Put that on your LinkedIn .. Not looking)those crazy outlandish recruiter calls you say happen should be an alarm to your current company! Better keep you happy or your find something better.
- technion 10y agoMy LinkedIn lists my current place of employment. I see no reason at all that it would list contact details there. It also has me listed as "not current looking". I've had two separate recruiters call my office, and openly tell reception they are calling "in regards to a job". I can only assume they Googled said workplace. It could cause a strain in your current workplace and leave you more likely to need to jump - I find the whole premise incredibly offensive.
