Citadel has cautioned external recruiters against promoting job opportunities that do not exist. This action comes in response to allegations that a well-known headhunter deceived traders from major global banks into revealing confidential information.

The investment firm, led by Ken Griffin, has recently reminded recruiters of their responsibility to safeguard sensitive information related to Citadel and its employees. The firm has stressed the significance of maintaining confidentiality and refraining from soliciting private data from its staff.

This development underscores ongoing concerns in the financial sector regarding the integrity of recruitment practices and the protection of proprietary information.
