Candidate Protection

For Candidates

Shadow Recruiters does not mass-submit resumes or 'shop' your profile to hundreds of employers. Your identity is protected during initial submissions to ensure complete discretion.

You are never 'owned' or locked into exclusivity by us. We operate as an advocate for your skills, not a broker of your person.

"Your information is only shared with an employer after they express interest based on your blind profile and you provide explicit consent to proceed."
