Workers are currently in a bear market. No company has problems “accessing” talent, at least today. They aren’t going to lose a candidate by simply insisting on an in-person step, whether it be an in-person interview or a week of in-person work.


Yes I acknowledge that. Right now you can toss candidates because they didn't join your Discord 1am on a Sunday and still find hires.

But it does reduce your pool anyway and access to cheaper and /or better people.


It’s not a bear market for the best candidates. I know plenty of people who have found new jobs in the last 6 months.

Many of them would have said no to in-person interviews.


Candidates who are already well-known in their fields are generally not plausible candidates for this scam.
