  To what end? I read most of the article but I can’t understand the goals of these fakers?

  Can’t have the syndrome if you are a real impostor.

  Vidoc posted on local job boards, like the one in Poland. But whoever was behind this operation figured out that it’s profitable to pose as Serbian, Polish, and other eastern European profiles

  I’d think that this could be pretty easily resolved by just having a real-life interview, at least for the final interview.

  It sounds like Vidoc is in Poland. Maybe it’s just me, but if I were being hired for an engineering position, I’d think that it’d be reasonable to be willing to travel to a final interview, and for the company to cover any costs.

  But, okay, say that it doesn’t make sense. Maybe the finances don’t work, maybe they want to hire somewhere in Poland where it’s not practical for people to travel to their location. I’d think that it’d be possible to have an “interviewing company”. That company just obtains some office space, sets up videoconference conferencing rooms, and has their own trusted cameras and suchlike present.

    The case is too niche.

  Unfortunately, that “ask cultural questions” advice is out of date.

  Copilot can provide the appropriate answer in less than a second. So unless you ask them to answer the cultural questions while holding their hand over their eyes, they can just have a microphone on listening to the interviewer’s questions and providing appropriate responses to the imposter’s screen.

  The hand in front of face thing is interesting, and in the video you can see clear distortion around the headphones which could have been a result of a replacement background.

  I’d have requested they turn off all filters and see how they react to that. “Oh, I’m not running any filters.” would be a clear lie and a reason to end the interview.

      When I’m on camera, I never do a background replacement and I’m always in front of bookshelves. Anyone can ask “What’s that thing behind you?” and I’ll take it down and show them.
