Recently found out that a friend’s friend is interviewing for a position at my company. The person got the referral so was given an online assessment but the person cheated on the online assessment by having another computer to check their answers. How to deal with this? Do i report to recruiters? Or let it slip? Worries me as this type of person might get lucky and pass the onsite given our lowered hiring bar. I heard about this from my friend (for those of you who might ask how i know for sure) while drinking. she asked a mutual friend of my friend’s for help and they apparently did the online assessment together lol jesus
Did all your friends get F in college?
Are you like 12?
Glad to know theres at least one erson at salesforce who doesnt value integrity
You should question your own integrity. Your taking your friends word over the candidates word. Your willing to allow the candidate to lose a chance at Amazon because of blind trust for your friend. You don't have faith in the on site interview process. If you feel that someone who cheated on the online assessment can get through the on-site, that's something you should be bringing up, not this particular issue.
If they need to cheat online assessment they will fail in person. Amazons online assessment was a joke when I last interviewed but bar raiser got me lol. Don’t be too tough on yourself bits good to see people with integrity like you OP
I thought the assessment explicitly stated that you can access outside resources. Unless he had someone else do the work for him he should be fine. I even mentioned that I had to look something up in my write up. Recruiter said I "crushed" the assessment and I got called in for an on-site.
Yup can look up the libraries not the answers for your question. Congrats, gl on the onsites
The person who observed the cheating should be the person to report it if at all. Are you really going to raise the alarm and all you have is you heard from a friend who heard from a friend?
Don’t worry, working at Amazon will be his punishment
1. Candidates cheat online assessments routinely, hence it'd probably be unfair to the candidate if you report this. Online assessments are generally just screenings to ensure that the candidate is interview-able. Which brings me to my second point.. 2. If the coding assessment is the highest bar of your recruitment process (which I don't think is true), you should probably reflect on the process as a whole.
Fair point. My point being more on the unethical side instead of technical competency.
