I once had a midsized startup doing something very similar to my small startup try and recruit me aggressively, they sent an NDA to sign and said i couldn’t even speak to interviewers until I did. (Consider how dangerous this is given the similar products.) I told them I’d sign the NDA if all my interviewers also signed one from me, nice way to end the discussion. My point is, if there is something you don’t like and it isn’t common, a way to decline is to decline the job. If it is a widespread practice, and unfair, then we need legislation.
