I’m hearing horror stories around full-remote dev hiring on both sides - but this is a new low: a small startup nearly hired a strong software engineer who was… a deepfake. Twice.
The second time, they got it on video: this was the deefake that was sloppy. The first one they didn’t even spot!
All details and lots of learnings for any startup hiring:
If this happens to a few person startup: chances are it can happen to any company, large or small.
