    AI fakers are far less common than agency molested resumes and bait and switch with interviewees. I'd say 60% of the interviews I conduct are clearly not with the person who's resume I'm looking at. They're real people just not good candidates.

      True, fortunately we learned how to filter those types of resumes and candidates. (we got quite good at that)

      > Different shipping address for laptop. ... a different address ... it’s a red flag.

      I haven't used my physical address for shipping in 15+ years. I'm not an AI. I just prefer to use my po box because there are no porch pirates to deal with.

        So, what would have happened if they hired him? Would he have his AI mask on in all future calls. Clearly this would not be sustainable, or? Im confused.

          Yup, this happened to me. Ask me anything.

            Are remote jobs completely over now with rampant AI fakers?

            How common does this happen now?

              We are still a fully remote company, but we added an additional on-site stage to verify if the people are legit. So I would say that the jobs are not over, but hiring just got way more expensive.
