Emm, yes? What do you think they are going to do with it. They are also considering giving you access to potentially a vast amount of their IP and maybe even customer data.


>Emm, yes? What do you think they are going to do with it

I don't care what they're going to do with it. They aint having it.


I just don't understand this at all. Perhaps if they said they intended to record the interview I'd be a little uncomfortable. Otherwise, did you hide your identity in face to face interviews? Do you refuse to enter buildings with CCTV?

I've interviewed hundreds of people since COVID / interviews going online. I'm not aware that it's been a problem for a single candidate, I don't even think we say it explicitly.


Why would they need to give me this for a screening round? Do they expect me to do actual work for them?


Whatever they're legally allowed to and I may never know.

That's the problem.


Wouldn't you need to sign over your name, image and likeness (along with an affidavit that it isn't already exclusively owned) in order for them to legally reuse it?

Granted, I've seen tech employee contracts that do include that wording, but it hasn't been in any of the pre-employment paperwork like NDA, etc., in my experience.

Legally? Probably yes. Practically? Fuck no.
