I was recently approached by a firm that it seems does a similar thing to what you've described. As a native english speaking tech professional, they wanted me to assist others in initial video interviews for tech positions. I don't know how any amount of spin or perspective could sell such a thing as anything but fraud. I honestly couldn't even put together how it would work long term, but I suppose with the nature of some remote work, it might be possible by a committed actor or agency. It's creepy as heck, and reminds me of that movie "Gattica."

This sounds like SOP for literally every "recruitment" outfit I've ever encountered. Every single one encouraged candidates to tailor their credentials to the job requirements.
- goatcode 4y agoI was being asked to pretend to be someone I was not, in order to fool a company to which an applicant was applying. I may not have described it well and perhaps this lead to the confusion, but what I was approached for was most definitely fraud. Tailoring applications certainly makes sense, so long as the output still reflects the skills and qualifications of the applicant.
