I feel there is a conflict of interest in working with the same search firm on my company's HR hiring needs as I'm using for my own personal HR career advice. Do you agree?
Answer:
There is no problem talking to the same search firm, provided it is you who initiates contact. In cases where a search firm with strong connections to your company is actively tempting you with opportunities, yes there would be a conflict of interest. If you initiate contact with the search firm to explore your next move, most search firms will ask you to sign a disclaimer that you have approached them.
