Then why go to a recruiter at all?Anonymous 7 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 21, 2019 1:40 pm Because doing this through a third party on facetime doesn't exactly scream professional and is wide open to scamming, and I say this as someone who worked on a computer at home for years.
Why be so protective over the information?

They could just put any year down & make a drivers license ,with your name,address, & pic. Then they get a vehicle in your name & ins. If something happened ( an accident), they leave the scene , you're responsible, unless you can prove it wasn't you.Traci_Momof2 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 21, 2019 11:55 amHow are they going to steal your identity without your birth year?

It's not all about getting your ss# for some scammers, some people aren't ALLOWED ( by the law) a drivers license & they will do whatever it takes to get one.

Recruiters actually do video interviewing via skype or facetime depending on what electronics the candidate may have. We have some clients who want to do a phone or video interview before bringing them in to interview in person. We used to have to hire companies for video interviewing before we had the capabilities we have today.Anonymous 7 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 21, 2019 1:40 pm Because doing this through a third party on facetime doesn't exactly scream professional and is wide open to scamming, and I say this as someone who worked on a computer at home for years.
I think in this day and age many people are skeptical about giving any out. It's just sooooo easy to get scammed.
I have never worked with a third party to get a job. I would be hesitant to give ANY information, because I would think your dh was pulling some sort of scam.
Yeah, not super helpful...

They could probably start by doing a reverse image search. Once the scammer has found a match, It wouldn't be a stretch to think that they might find the birth year on social media. And from that....
