Matched with a guy on Shaadi. I gave him my number and asked for his, but his dad called me and made the guy talk to me. I was fine with that. They didn't want to share his number.
He spoke casually. After a few minutes I asked about his future plans. He said, "Job, and I also do some freelance work." I thought he had a side hustle or a business. I then asked indirectly if it was moonlighting. He replied, "No, I help people get jobs with fake experience. They don't know how to do the work, so I work for that consultancy and get paid. You and your brother lived in the USA, so you should understand."
I was shocked and said, "That doesn't mean either of us faked our way to get a job, and whatever you're doing, how is that legal?"
He seemed taken aback and said, "It's been a year since I did that. They didn't want me anymore because of AI."
The guy has no sense of ethics; he's just enabling fraudsters. He never said it was wrong or that he'd stop. He even said, "I should start again". I was like, WTH.
Obviously this is wrong. Back in 2016, under the guise of freelancing, I was approached to help fraudsters in the US (Indians who had moved there). It's sad to see people do anything for money, throwing away basic morals and ethics.
"I should start again"
bruh, I thought that guy was going to become a good guy but what the heck
So it's the recruiters who offer these kinds of jobs. The candidate isn't entirely at fault, except for being unethical.
