CRMs can be a bit shady…
Having spent quite some time in the field, I consider myself more tech-savvy than the average person. Recently, I’ve been experimenting with creating my own data lake/CRM, and it’s been surprisingly straightforward. During this process, I’ve stumbled across some intriguing insights.
Almost every CRM I’ve explored has some kind of data backup functionality that utilizes multiple proxies. Are you guys really sure you’re not inadvertently providing valuable data—like updated emails, phone numbers, salaries, and CVs—to the major players in the industry?
By the way, greetings from Bulgaria!
Just think about it—most recruiters are pretty terrible, especially those at large companies. Yet, the CRM system looks flawless… interesting, right?

It’s great to see you diving into building your own datalake/CRM! It sounds like a fascinating project, and I can see why you’re uncovering some intriguing aspects of how these systems operate.
Your concerns about data privacy and security in CRMs are definitely valid. Many users are unaware of how their data is being handled or shared, and the complexities of data backups and proxies can sometimes mask nefarious practices. It’s essential for companies to be transparent about their data policies, particularly when it comes to sensitive information like emails, numbers, and resumes.
As for recruiters, the frustration with the inefficiencies in the system is shared by many. An effective CRM can streamline the process and improve interactions, but it’s crucial to prioritize ethics and data protection in the development of such tools. Your insights make one think critically about how technology is utilized in the recruitment space and the accountability of those managing it.
Greetings from Bulgaria! It’s always interesting to connect with others who are questioning industry norms and pushing for more transparency in tech. Keep exploring and don’t hesitate to share your findings!
