Fake jobs, fake interviews — some AI hiring platforms are really playing with us now.

Just wanted to share something weird I’ve been noticing lately, and maybe some of you have too.

There are these new AI-based hiring platforms that have started showing up recently. You know the kind — “Get hired using AI,” “Smart interviews,” “Personalized job matches” and all that jazzy stuff. At first glance, it looks legit and actually kinda exciting.

But the more I used them, the more it felt... off.

Turns out, a lot of them are still in learning or testing mode, and they’re just using freshers like us as training material.

Here's where it gets really shady:

They create fake job postings, and then they even set up fake interviews — through third-party tools or bots. Yup, you actually go through the whole process — answer questions, maybe even record responses, thinking you're being considered for a real role.

But nope.
There’s no real job. No real company. No callback. Nothing.

They’re just collecting your data — your resume, your answers, how you perform — to feed into their AI so it “learns better.” And meanwhile, they’re monetizing every click, every upload, sometimes even selling upgrades like “get premium visibility.”

I even found out some HRs are being paid just to share these links and bring in candidates. Like literally fake job marketing.

So now we’re not just being ghosted — we’re being used.

And what sucks most is that they’re targeting people who are still in college or just graduated. People like us, who are already stressed about jobs and the future. It’s honestly disgusting.

Just wanted to put this out there:
Be careful with these new-age “AI job” platforms. If the process feels sketchy, if the company name is missing, or if it looks like some random bot is doing the interview — pause. Think twice. Protect your time and your data.

Has anyone else gone through this? Would love to hear your experience too.
