I'm facing a conundrum. I saw a job posting for <Company A> weeks ago, but wasn't really interested and moved on.

Got in touch with a standalone recruitment company today who had an exciting job offer. The recruiter refused to tell me the name of the company until he spoke to me as they directed him to not disclose the name of the company or any details until he has verified the candidate is genuine. To my absolute shock and disbelief it was <Company A>!!!!

So heres the conundrum. External recruiters don't lie, why would they? Clearly this company MUST keep their hiring top secret, and some poor employee didn't get the memo before posting that job publicly. Should I report the <Company A> employee?

I don't want to report them and get them in trouble, but feel I must in order to help the company fix this leak ... before its too late ... and people find out the are hiring!

Thoughts?

    The recruiter bullshiied you. The ONLY reason they don’t disclose company name so you can not apply by yourself and ruin their commission.

    Recruiters are amazing, just underneath marketers 🥰
    Probably a dodged bullet right there...

    The recruiter is the asshole here, not the person at the company. There is a time and place to leave well enough alone, now is that time.

    A: Hi, I'm from company A and we're hiring and this is our job offer

    B: Hi PracticeSafeHex, we are hiring and have a very exciting job offer.
    We could discuss more on this if you are interested.

    I guess the second one would've gotten you into talks especially after you won't have had read A. Furthermore, they could understand why people do or do not want to join them after you would've asked for their order personally, thought about it for the first time and gave them your thought process as the reason for your denial

    Sorry for bad English
