Pretty sure our engineering team hired at least one. We now require all candidates do at least one onsite interview as opposed to zoom/video only.
But we had a pretty major security incident/response with one engineering hire in his first week. Scary to think what would have happened had he lay low for a bit.

Companies should force every candidate to appear in person for an interview, even if the job is remote. Yes, they have to pay for the travel cost and hotel, but at least they know they’re getting a real person.

Thank you MS.
If only there was a way to prevent this.

Lol if you cant determine if person is real or AI during 4 series of zoom calls, then idk what kind of people work there
We had someone who was using either recordings or someone doing the interview for him. He was lip syncing very poorly.

Not surprised.
The trick is they hire somebody temporarily to be the face. That person is the one that gets on the zoom calls and does the interviews. Usually it’s the one that is best at speaking the language of the origin country of the company. That person may also be called back later if a meeting is scheduled or they need to interact directly over video call.
This is a scam that has been going on for a while with real people. AI is just making it easier to bypass paying humans to do the initial work.

Microsoft warns companies who do actual hiring. You don’t need to heed it when all of your code is written by AI lol

This happened at my company and they used it as a pretense to force everyone back into the office.

They’ll fall for it too posing as cheap labor lol. All America cares about is money so it is what it is

This along with people using real time AI to preform interviews is pretty crazy. Pretty easy to work around these things but you need to know they exist and purposefully introduce some awkward things to help prove they are real people.
Edit: To calrify, I mean real time AI differently in that people use the AI to listen to the interviewer’s questions and interviewee is fed answers in real time.

There’s an easy way to avoid this Microsoft (and other major companies), stop outsourcing jobs and hire people who actually live in the country where you need them. Otherwise kiss your IP and trade secrets goodbye and expect 1:1 clones from state backed companies in China or Russia.

I caught one of these in an interview. They even use a filter on their video calls so that they don’t look exactly the same as they do irl.
Was a wild interview, i had to report it. Made me way more cautious!

We believe we ran into one of these at one point
It was extremely obvious they were cheating almost immediately. We cancelled a few minutes in, reported it, and they promptly vanished off the face of the Earth.
They had a bogus LinkedIn, GitHub, the works. All gone by next day
