This happens to me consistently here among the NYC recruiters.   When I was young and naive I fell for it, now I come back with, &quot;I have a policy, out of respect for the other recruiters I work with, not to reveal where I&#x27;m interviewing or submitted until I&#x27;m in final stages.   It&#x27;s only fair, you&#x27;d like the same, wouldn&#x27;t you?&quot;<p>That usually makes them stop insisting.   What I don&#x27;t get is why some of my previous recruiters only ever call me to ask me that.   Guess I&#x27;m just dead weight to them, OR there are too many recruiters and not enough open positions!
