This happened at my last job before retirement, before the pandemic. I heard later about it, there was a phone interview, things went well. The candidate was Indian, it was for a Salesforce admin or developer position, contractor, guy answered the questions well, etc. etc.
The guy that showed up barely spoke, could barely speak English, and could barely log in to Salesforce. I mentioned that the phone candidate was Indian because my guess is that the pair thought that the Americans wouldn't notice the difference but some of our people on the call were Indian and definitely noticed the difference in accents between phone guy and in person guy.
New guy lasted less than a day, was escorted out. Recruiter apologized A LOT.
- dzhiurgis 3y agoI’ve seen a video of Indian guy miming during interview for Salesforce role - someone else answering questions for him. He proceeded as if nothing when called out. Apparently common thing. Kinda admire their perseverance.
- ralphc 3y agoIt was a mulesoft job that "John" in the story came in for, I wonder if this is most prevalent in the Salesforce family of products.
