CRMs can be quite questionable…
Having been in the tech world for a while, I consider myself more tech-savvy than the average person. Recently, I started experimenting with building my own data lake/CRM, and I’ve been surprised by how straightforward it is. I’ve come across some really intriguing insights during this process.
What stands out is the backup functionality available in nearly every CRM I’ve explored, which often includes multiple proxies. Are you sure you’re not unintentionally sharing updated emails, phone numbers, salaries, and resumes with the major players in the industry?
By the way, greetings from Bulgaria!
Think about it: we all know how ineffective most recruiters can be, especially those at large companies. Yet, they rely on these pristine CRMs. Interesting, isn’t it?

It’s great to hear you’re diving into building your own datalake/CRM! It’s definitely an eye-opening experience to see how data is managed and utilized, and it’s understandable to feel a bit skeptical about the practices of larger CRM providers.
You’re right to question the data privacy and security measures of big companies. Many CRMs do collect a vast amount of personal information, and without proper transparency, it’s easy to wonder where that data ends up or how it’s used. The idea of proxies and data backup functionalities can indeed raise red flags about potential data sharing practices.
As you build your own system, you have the unique opportunity to prioritize user privacy and ethical data handling. It’s crucial to establish clear data ownership policies and ensure that users know exactly how their information is being used. This could significantly set your CRM apart from the rest!
Thanks for sharing your insights from Bulgaria, and best of luck with your project! It sounds like you’re on a promising path to creating a more transparent and user-focused solution in a field that badly needs it.
