If a recruiter asks where else I'm interviewing, do I tell them?

"Unless you know and trust a recruiter, you have no idea what he may do with
information about other jobs you're pursuing. I've seen recruiters go out of
their way to torpedo an opportunity a person was developing, just so the
recruiter could advance his own deal. It's unlikely you'd encounter that
nasty a recruiter, but you must be careful all the time. Don't divulge other
opportunities you're working on if you're not sure about the recruiter. Keep
your standards high. Deal only with recruiters who behave like your
interests matter as much as their own. Because that's what defines a good,
successful recruiter." - Nick Corcodilos, from Ask the Headhunter
