Guys, we should avoid putting fears in people’s mind. If you don’t have any tangible information to give why not keep mute. My experience, last month I got an invite for an online test from one unknown coy. I did my research and couldn’t find any tangible information about them on the net. I did the test, last week I got a mail for an interview mail from them also stating that I passed the test. Guys, I went there there last week and it’s was one of these oil servicing coys in lekki that has no signpost but good office structure and good staffs welfare. You can imagine working 9am-3pm as your official working hours.

The site ([https://getsofi.com/]) is down right now. I just hope they are not scammers o.

But if they are, what could they possibly do with our data?

childofgrace2k:
Checking the details of their website on the Internet,
the domain www.getsofi.com was registered last month, precisely on the 15th on last month June. So it's either its a new company or they are fraudsters

NotaMod:
It isn't genuine. Website was registered a month ago for one year duration.

The purpose is to steal your info and/or scam you

Yours is different, this Getsofi is asking for a 5 mins video introduction, if they had asked for a one on one Skype interview I would have done it or better, they should have asked for a physical interview, that way, I can go to the interview address a day before the interview to survey the company's building before going in.

It's not fear, one has to be careful, all these scammers are preying on the desperation of job seekers.

NotaMod:


Na only you work for multinational coy, na only you get DHL invite. Na only you get job with unknown oil company.

Akeeka!!!. I trowey salute

How did you check the domain, please reply, this will go a long way in helping job seekers differentiate between a fake and a real job advert.

childofgrace2k:
go to www.domain.com, click on the domain menu, then click on Whois submenu, it will give you details of the website, sometimes it shows the name of the owner if they didn't pay for site privacy on their hosting platform

What can they do with a 5min into video of yourself?

They could edit it, put text overlay on it, put a different description on it and post it on another website making you as front for another scam.
The possibilities and endless.

I personally think 5min intro video for a job application is ridiculous and pointless.

Think about this, 15 applicant, 5 Mins video each

That's 1hr and 15 mins of videos for the recruitment team to watch which an inperson interview would have taken care of

It's a waste of storage space, a 5 min video in HD can be between 40mb to over 500mb

It takes away time from the recruitment process

It's counter productive, they already have applicants resume which contain most of the same info

The company shows they are unprepared and unserious and lack direction.
Also, it's a big liability for for company. Of the image/video shows up somewhere later you can sue (in the US, they'll make you sign documents when your video and/or pictures are involved)

My point exactly, a 5mins introduction video seems pointless, I just couldn't go on with the interview process after I saw that 5mins video thing.

You are applying for the role of Data Scientist in an tech company that uses AI and yet you think a person would seat and watch all those video?.
This processes are fully Artificial Intelligence enabled. Using certain parameters the AI can detect your response and facial expressions and match them to some standards already set out by the organization. Well am not saying its genuine, neither do i know if its not. But i think you people need to keep an open mind to things, more so when you dealing with a tech company being funded by Angel investors as they claim. this simply means its a start-up. who knows!
