Back in the day I used to be a recruiter, and anyone who has recruited for tech roles that get a lot of Indian applicants can attest to the fact that it's a total nightmare.
Most people spruce up their resume here and there, but Indians just straight up lie about what they can do.
I had to do Skype calls to prevent candidates from having someone else do the interview for them, but even that isn't foolproof because they will still have someone on a phone speaking for them while they lip sync.
Sounds absurd, I know, but it was extremely common and I doubt anything has changed since then.
it's tough because they put forward candidates that check a bunch of dei boxes too. they could be doing a form of penetration testing so rejecting them outright could put you and your company at risk.
this means I have to spend the entire hour interview basically giving them a basic programming lesson so they have nothing to clip from the conversation and say "see, this company is racist!"
I've had candidates come to my interview with very impressive resumes that made it past HR, only for them to not even know what was on their own resume.
Yeah that rough. I'm so thankful I'm no longer doing that type of work. I hated having so many interviews scheduled each day while knowing most of them would be with bullshit candidates.
There's money to be made as a recruiter though, so I'm not knocking the job.
