Ask HN: Fake Video Interviewers

2•ransom1538•2h ago
I haven't hired since precovid. I am just aghast at the cheating. If I have 10 interviews, 10 will use AI. I assumed this would be the case.

But then things turn dystopian...

There were 2 interviews where the person looked like a model (not real), had resumes that looked good (but not too good), and their mouth would glitch from time to time. Their voice wasn't perfect US english etc. My wife couldn't tell.

IMHO, there is a few crews using FULL ai agent interviews. EG. From resume sending, to replying, to an ACTUAL in video interview.

How to catch them? If you ask long complex questions, they will nail the answer. If you ask short easy questions they fail.

EG: "What is the square root of 9" is an extremely hard challenge for them. They will ask you to repeat the question, and wait about 2 seconds to say "3".

I don’t have a recommendation on how to coach them but i read that some of them are North Korean operatives (https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2025/08/05/world/north-korea...). It’s a real problem and depending on your industry you might be targeted more. In that case a thing that actually works is asking them to say something bad about Kim Yong Un.
