- esafak 1y agoIF you're trying to say that you've interviewed people like Soham in a roundabout way you can just say so. Given everyone else's reaction, they're obviously new to these scammers and will be adjusting their hiring practices. Not everybody has interviewed a North Korean hacker with a real-time deepfake avatar either...
- sorcerer-mar 1y agoNo, I am asking what is there to learn. If there were something to learn, you (or anyone else) could’ve said: “you should do [this thing] differently” “Don’t hire people like this guy” is circular. It’s not meaningful information. There’s nothing to learn! Background checks would not and did not detect him.
- esafak 1y agoI am not saying that at all, am I? I am saying DO BACKGROUND CHECKS. If the previous company says "He hasn't actually done any work yet" you would have avoided the problem. I can't tell you what to do differently because I don't know what you are doing. But I can say you can catch him, and others have caught him, so why can't you?
- sorcerer-mar 1y agoFirst, background checks are obvious and I don't know any startup of any scale that's hiring engineers "without background checks." But typical background checks would not catch someone doing this, and in fact did not catch him several times, clearly. Background checks do not alert you to other business who claim to have recently hired someone, so it's not clear how this helps whatsoever. He had references, he had a LinkedIn, etc. etc. Your solution is made up. If you believe background checks would help, then answer my prior question: which type of background check? The standard ones would not detect this!
- esafak 1y agoAsk about his work! Everybody specifically said he did not actually do any.
- sorcerer-mar 1y agoAh, so you are supposed to conjure from the tea leaves all of the employers he has burned and hasn't listed on his LinkedIn or references. Gee wiz.
- confidantlake 1y agoGood way to get sued for defamation.
- esafak 1y agoThe Sohams of the world aren't in a position to sue anybody.
