Assessment tasks in hiring processes are common, but some recruiters exploit candidates by appropriating their work without compensation. A job seeker shared their experience of building a full website for a company after several interviews, only to be ghosted post-submission. This trend of interview fraud has escalated with the surge in remote work following the pandemic, leading to a concerning reality where many applicants risk giving away their work without protections or remuneration.
"Some recruiters give tasks to job seekers just to take advantage of their work and ideas without having to pay them or give credit."
"The rise in interview fraud can be attributed to remote work getting more popular thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, with 60-80% of companies now using online interviews."
