Depends on the partner, depends on the firm. It's unlikely to get back to anyone though OP as long as you're smart about it.

I mean that if a company fired an employee for interviewing elsewhere, they would be on the losing side in court pretty damn fast. Basic legal protection for employees is much better in Europe.

You'll never get fired for looking at other opportunities. If anyone hears, they may want to know more about what's going on. But think about how busy they are? I'm not 100% sure, but how would they have time to do that?

M1, what?

I just started looking for a job and made some profiles on various job boards. I'm getting a lot of emails from recruiters that look like this. Whenever I talk to them on the phone it's very hard to hear them and the whole thing just seems a bit fishy. They ask for my DOB, and one asked if I would sign something so they could market my profile. Is this a scam?
I've censored names, addresses, and phone numbers.
