[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I understand what you are saying. I'm not a lawyer but I believe the only way the small business (or any company) could use your resume is if 1) they made you an offer contingent on winning the work and you accepted or 2) they made you an offer in general and you accepted. If you are not employed by them or do not have an offer in hand they should not be able to use your resume.

Can your contact get any more details on whether or not they are using your resume? If they are and you have no intention of moving to the new company (which I'm inferring from your post) I would probably bring it up to someone at your current company. You have done nothing wrong by talking to a recruiter - now if you actually accepted a contingent offer that's another story and I'm not sure what to tell you. It's a pretty common tactic with small business government contractors.[/quote]

The timing of when the RFI was used suggests they may have lifted my resume from Linkedin, before I spoke to them.  I am not really sure.  As I mentioned in another post, I talked to my manager, and they got legal involved.  That is when I found out the RFI was due about 3 days before I sent my resume.

My manager was actually happy to hear this, because he thinks he can get the small company's response invalidated, which makes it more likely that we can bid as prime.[/quote]

8:28 again. I've heard some shady stuff in government contracting but this is by far the worst and only validates my concerns about some of these small businesses (and my father and grandfather were small business owners - I totally support small businesses in theory but some of the ones I've seen in contracting are so unscrupulous). I'm glad you were able to talk to someone at your company and that you started the email chain with "not actively looking." Thanks for sharing your story and the updates[/quote]
