Concerned that word will trickle down on the long road from the client-side recruiters to the hiring managers to ultimately my agency-side supervisors at some point during the interview process? Would seem to put my current job in jeopardy while providing no guarantees I get the one I’m applying for.

I don’t actually follow the question or concern you’re asking. I assume people have applied to jobs at their client, yes. I’m an example. What’s the issue?

I think the risk is very very small. Not zero but worth it likely. If you are looking to go to a current client company probably best to explore other divisions or if you are looking to slide in the same division, best to handle that openly and have a client advocate for you that you can trust

Why am I being iced?
