The Hidden Industry of Interview Cheating

Revision en1, by phantomphreak96, 2025-04-12 10:02:50

So we have clients who will be interviewing for high end companies.

Your job will be to help them during the interview.

No, you won’t be giving the interview directly on others behalf. But, you’ll be communicating live during the interview and typing out the code remotely.

There’s a zero percent chance you’ll ever be caught because of how we have set it up.

In return for your services,

This will be your pay:
___ per interview for hire and above rating
___ for lean hire
No pay for below lean hire.

In the event of an offer, you’ll get ___ as a bonus

Depending on the offer, we can bump up your bonus
___ will be minimum

This is the exact message I received on my telegram recently (Hid the pay but it was kinda High). It was an offer to participate in remote interview cheating. The payment offered was also high for a student like me.

After sitting with it for a while, I realized I couldn't just ignore it. So I am, writing this. My purpose is not to shame or expose anyone, but to speak up about something that's quietly growing.

I know some sort of cheating in interviews is not uncommon. But this isn't a leaked question or something similar. It is entire business models built around feeding solutions in real time, with systems so well set up that the person getting hired never even writes a line of code themselves. These systems are designed to be “foolproof.” It’s a black-market ecosystem that’s becoming normalized.

Every time someone gets in this way, someone who worked hard gets rejected. Someone who upsolved, learned, practiced, they get the “unlucky” tag, while the fake hire walks away with the offer. I know this because I am that someone who got rejected.

If this has happened to you i.e, someone reached out, made an offer, Please don't accept these. I know that someone else will say yes even if you don’t but remember atleast you are not helping those cheaters.

As for my decision, I said No. Its because I dont want deserving people to get the "Unlucky" tag while undeserving people get the actual offers.
