This kind of tool is why companies will push back towards on-site interviews, and consequently RTO, given that the people who interviewed are the ones who could easily go to the office to be interviewed.

Honestly, it's hard to blame the company. If the employee is willing to lie and cheat even before they were hired, it's expected that companies will take away their tool to do it: remote calls and WFH. As always, the honest worker gets shafted.

Yeah tech has always been a meritocracy built on ethics and we need to remember that.

Trust.

Some people think that trust just means a someone blindly trusting another, but of course that's not how it works. People will be trusted to an extent that they can be trusted, and this goes for company-employee relations too. If people prove they cannot be trusted with remote interviews, companies will take remote interviews away. This was a luxury given to us during the pandemic, and it's now being rolled back because of tools like these.

I remember people here on HN complaining about CEOs mandating RTO without data to support it. Well, this certainly doesn't help.

This is still not data.
