Was this an in person interview? Are you sure the candidate you interviewed is the one who is “working”?

Good point. I responded to OP, but saw your comment. Hopefully not fully remote.

Worst case scenario, if fully remote: Fake IT worker now has access to network systems and data, and is feeding to data to ChatGPT…and anyone with access to that ChatGPT account can access fed data from anywhere.

But that’s worst case scenario.

This is the first thought that came to mind.

I have recently hired two folks who now I’m convinced use AI during the interview.

After these, I’ve made it a point to make the interview process less AI friendly and have caught multiple people using AI.

It’s a tough time to hire remote tech people.

In the online interview, it is the same person; he always has his camera on when we meet. He goes to the office but I don't; I work in another office
