100 Applications From One Fake Candidate | Deep Geeks ep05

One person. One set of contact details. 100 applications, each with a different invented persona. This is what AI did to the hiring funnel. https://www.weka.io/podcast/nobody-has-done-this-job?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social Recruiters are not the only ones using AI. Candidates are too, and the volume problem that creates is now a defining challenge in talent acquisition. In this clip from Deep Geeks, Roopesh walks through a real case his team caught: the same applicant applying 100 times across different roles under different professional identities. He explains how tooling scores applications on how likely they are to be AI-generated, why video stays on during interviews, and what trigger questions interviewers use when something feels off.
