They generally make no enquiries at all into the applicant’s bona fides.

The candidate sends in fake or stolen documents where the picture on the drivers license doesn’t even vaguely resemble the person who appeared on Zoom.

When you have an applicant who says they were born in Tennessee and that they’ve apparently lived in the U.S. for their whole life, you would normally expect them to speak English with native proficiency and at least have an American-sounding accent.

If they say they live in, say, Seattle, you’d expect they could carry on at least a basic conversation about their local area.

Even this basic level of attention to detail nonetheless escapes many HR departments and hiring managers.
