I can see where you might want to keep the name of your employer confidential when you are submitting your resume to a recruiter (usually there’s some kind of fear factor involved because it can be a small world).

Please don’t bother.

Just so you know: it’s my job to find anyone, anywhere, and I do it well. I don’t even need Facebook. So if I were interested, I could find out where you work. But, I am a very busy medical sales recruiter, placing candidates every day in great careers in medical sales, laboratory sales, biotechnology sales, pharmaceutical sales, clinical diagnostics sales, imaging sales, pathology sales, DNA products sales, cellular and molecular products sales, surgical supplies sales, hospital equipment sales, medical device sales, and all other aspects of healthcare sales, service, marketing, and management. Which means, I don’t have time to do that kind of homework. And there’s no way I’m presenting you to one of my client companies without all the information available, so your withholding of it might be what knocks you out of the running. Or at least slows your progress down.

I am known for my sensitivity and confidentiality. Your secret is safe with me.

So save me the time, and increase your odds of success.
