I interview and then you show up to do the job, possibly

I saw a lot of that while doing phone screens: People who were getting coached via earbuds, people who were frantically searching Google for answers, etc.

The 100% virtual hiring process means that it is much easier to sub out your interview as there’s no point in the process where you show up for an on-site, present your government issued ID, and then interview.

I don’t remember ever showing my id in onsites. In some of those big places one could def skate by having someone else interview and then show up on first day and nobody would notice. Ime id doesn’t come up until hr wants work authorization on your first day

Yeah, I worked for a large employer who complained about this happening when people were onsite all day. Different people interviewed and showed up for work.

This is nothing new, it's just a media blitz by status quo lovers.
