So couple weeks ago my group held a video conference job interview. Upon reflection, the video was a little sub par, but sometimes things happen. The audio was a little off as well, but again, not a huge red flag lets just assume bad conn with India.
Guy interviews very well, seems like a rock star. We want to move forward with him and offer a position. He starts a couple weeks later. On day 1, it's pretty clear he is VERY clueless but seemed to be such a rock star during the interview. On day 5, my development manager returns from vacation and goes, "Hey, that guy's voice is VERY different that the interview, as if in, thats NOT the same voice."
Turns out the guy had a friend answering questions for him during the interview and the poor video was to hide the fact he wasn't actually speaking but someone was off camera.
I wasn't part of the interview process but he went to a team for one of my peers. This was reminiscent to people having others take there finals in school. What the hell was he thinking, other than he was trying to get in, so he could get through the 3 month period and then be hired by the staffing firm we use. Anyone else heard of or seen something like this in the professional world? The guy who ran the interview is in shock, he freaking got catfished at work!
