Like how the hell are these "fake IT workers" even getting these jobs anyway whilst 10,000s of genuine experienced IT pros languish often within commuting distance to the actual workplace? Is KYC that easy to bypass? (Disclaimer, we also struggle to be 100% sure any candidate is really where they say they are)

Employers closing their eyes and sticking fingers in their ears. I've personally seen on LinkedIn, "agencies" blatantly canvassing for fake IT workers in broad daylight.
