Asking for Proof of Performance
So my cousin recently applied for a Financial Advisor job at a bank and they explicitly asked for proof of performance like a performance review with numbers, company's sales report with rankings, etc. This is like the first time I seen a company ask for such documentations. I have been in sales jobs before and not once did I have to bring documentation as proof of my sales record. Usually the interviewer would ask specific questions to see if you were lying. It could be just me and this is actually normal practice, but aren't a lot of these documentations confidential? Having your candidate give you their competitor's results and performance could give them an advantage. Like they could say it's meant for the interview process only but it'll be hard to prove they used the documents elsewhere. I could just be paranoid haha. Does your company ask for such documentations or have you ever been requested such records during interviews?
