When to Disclose Employment Negotiations

Q: A senior staffer in our office recently told me that he is seeking a job in the private sector. He has already interviewed with a number of firms and plans to interview with a few more, but he has yet to schedule interviews. I am pretty sure that there was a rule change a few years back requiring staffers to report job negotiations with outside employers in order to prevent conflicts of interest. But the senior staffer hasn’t done so. Should I report him to the Ethics Committee?
