As for motivation, maybe cash out one or two paychecks? Dunno how it works in the US, but where I live that would be hard without any ID or tax information. Maybe they'll request the first paycheck as a cashiers check? Paypal payment? Who knows. But 1-2-3 months worth of US-level salary would be a fortune in some parts of the world. In the days of remote work, it would not surprise me a bit if there are organized criminals doing this 24/7. Just churning out job applications, hiring people off fiverr, upwork, etc. to do the interviews, collect a paycheck or two and disappear. Could easily be worth $5000-$20000 pr. scam, if they manage to get hired.
