I'd be extremely reluctant to hire somebody who was willing to give me a guided tour of another company's CRM.
Even ignoring the ethics of the request, if somebody is willing to act against their current employer's wishes, they're almost certainly going to act against my wishes as well.
There are plenty of ways to check an applicant's abilities without requesting access to confidential information. This is as true for biz dev as it is for coders.
- DenisM 14y agoWhere did you yet the idea that GP asks for confidential CRM deployment? I think you are jumping to unwarranted conclusions.
- rscale 14y agoI got the idea from his post. The vast majority of BD candidates can't open a CRM and provide detailed information about it's structure and the deals it contains without revealing confidential information. As such, I think it's a poor idea to make that a standard part of the interview process. You mounted an unwarranted defense. There are edge conditions where somebody could do so without a problem, but they're the exception that proves the rule.
