You do realize that at some point you will actually need to go to the company your are interviewing with in person and to provide a lot more personal information than just a blurry mugshot from a Zoom call in order to be able to be employed and collect a salary?? Nobody collects "critical PII" using job interviews, no company has time for such nonsense. The companies that do collect such information don't do it using job interviews, there are much easier and less time and resource consuming ways of doing that. And re deep fake/blackmail - why would a company you are applying to hoping to score a job and hiding your face from want to blackmail you? Sorry but that's utter paranoia and bullshit.

> You do realize that at some point you will actually need to go to the company your are interviewing with in person and to provide a lot more personal information than just a blurry mugshot from a Zoom call in order to be able to be employed and collect a salary? HR these days can be done online -- sign the forms and post a picture of your identification to website that HR controls. 100% remote is a thing these days.

  Not everything can be done online, it depends on jurisdiction, etc. Don't assume that because in your field this is possible it is the case everywhere else.

This is a real concern for job seekers. I would send my info to any Hong Kong, Israeli or African based random job ad because of identity fraud

  So you don't research the company you are applying to for a job before you make the application?? I think you have a much bigger problem then.

This hasn't been a requirement in any remote position I've had since ~2016.

  So you didn't have to provide a proof of health insurance, your national ID number, bank account number for salary, postal address, phone number, etc.? Not because the company really cares about those things but because the government (tax office, etc.) requires them to collect and forward this information so that you can be properly registered in the various tax, pension and healthcare systems? Don't assume that what works in your niche is possible/works for everyone else too.
