Also, it sounds like the recruitment consultants might be in on it? If so, it’s also unethical for them to take commission on what they know is a fake candidate

- DangerousPie 5y agoNot just unethical, isn’t that just plain old fraud at this point?
- mytailorisrich 5y agoIf a company agrees to pay a consultant just for fielding candidates for interview that's their problem. The standard practice is for recruiters to be paid only in case of successful placement (and often only in case of successful probation period).
- some_random 5y agoYeah that was kinda confusing, did that use to be standard practice?
- behringer 5y agoIt's not their problem that they were defrauded. But yes it would be stupid.
- hinkley 5y agoThey could be paying a fee for candidates that get an offer. Of course that incentivizes recruiters to get a single candidate multiple offers. On the face of it this is good for the candidate, but it makes me wonder about some of my previous experiences.
- celticninja 5y agoThey get comission when the job is filled by a candidate they supplied, not just for sending someone to an interview.
- OJFord 5y agoThe article says otherwise, and that they gave a cut of their commission to the company supplying the fake candidate.
- celticninja 5y agoIt may have been the case for some segment of the market one time, it is not the case now and I have never know it to be. So I'm not saying they were lying to him but given their ethics this is entirely possible.
