I think it's acceptable to ask where else you're interviewing, but not inquire as to how you got the interviews or what other recruiters you're working with. And I'm not sure it's fair to classify this as a dealbreaker. You can't blame them for trying and it's easy to bypass by simply saying "I'm sorry I'm not comfortable with sharing that information."
If you're working with multiple recruiters and recruiter B tells you about an opportunity you're already pursuing through recruiter A you can then explain you're already pursuing it.
- mathattack 12y agoThis is perfectly acceptable. Where it isn't acceptable is for them to say, "Just so I don't send your resume to the wrong place, where else are you interviewing?" This can be them trolling for new leads. The proper answer is, "How about you just let me know about companies first?" If they don't accept that, they're scamming.
- markheadroom 12y agoI'm happy to share the list of the other places I'm considering with any recruiters who will also share their list of candidates they have under consideration. It's only fair.
