Saw this a number of times at my last job.

Things we encountered:

- candidates that were clearly talking to someone between getting asked a question and answering

- entirely different person interviewing than showed up to the job

- one person on the coderpad, another person on camera (and hiding this fact)

A surprising amount of comments trashing companies for trying to protect themselves from fraudulent candidates —- reality check required. If the person who interviews and the person who shows up for the job are different, companies are well within their right to terminate that employment. The point of the interview is to see if that person should be hired. If you’re unhappy about this, you’re probably in on the scam.
