It’s harder/nearly impossible to scam at scale in person.

It’s also way more obvious and personal when it happens, and it’s a lot easier to actually physically arrest someone if it gets really weird or out of hand, not that it was common for that to happen.

I think we’re seeing the birth of a new industry, the equivalent of Nigerian email scams, but with job interviews.

Exciting!

I heard a story about this happening at an Indian subsidiary of an American company, the person interviewed by the US manager was not the person that actually took the role ! It was discovered a few months in as the quality was not as expected (the person was actually a developer but not nearly as good as the one that was interviewed, he hired the interviewed person to pass the interview).
