The candidate who outsourced his interview…😜
Surprises never end in recruitment, but this one deserves an award!!
A virtual interview was scheduled for a candidate. Everything was processed as planned, but the call changed everything.
I asked, “Can you please introduce yourself?”
Candidate took an awkward pause, whispers could be heard in the background while he replied, “uhh sure. My name is XYZ. I have completed my bachelors and masters from…… My strengths are… . ..”
But wait… A few questions later, I noticed something odd. His lips weren’t matching the words. The voice was confident, but the face looked… lost.
He was exposed a few questions later when he went blank but the voice over still continued, so the lip sync drama couldn't last for too long.
We ended the call and were speechless.
But if you are faking, at least rehearse or better be qualified for the job!! Hats off to the confidence and guts of pulling out the dumbest idea!! 😂
Have you ever experienced a candidate pulling out such a flop plan? 😅 Keen to hear your humorous story in the comment!
