Recruiter Iryna Havrylyuk published a strange correspondence on LinkedIn with a candidate who allegedly completed a test task and suggested that the specialist review it by clicking on the link he sent.
«And what could this mean? I don’t follow strange links, and I haven’t given a test yet,» Iryna wrote and showed a screenshot.
In the comments to Irina’s post, IT experts write that this approach is very similar to a scam.
«What kind of test is this that takes 3 days to download?», Java Developer Andriy Varenko ironically noted.
Artem Pelevin, Android Developer, suggested that recruiters can also «breed» candidates. «Soon we will have: ‘We are interested in your candidacy. You can read more about the company at the link.’ They have already come up with personal pitching schemes for recruiters.»
Hanna Lesyk, a mentor and entrepreneur, suggests that the situation could be very negative for the recruiter. «I can imagine what the risk would be if it coincided with the test,» she wrote.
And recruiter Tetyana Kryzhanovska considers such a message a test of the recruiter’s IQ.
