Man tries to cheat Skype interview by attempting to lip sync someone else’s answers

A job applicant was caught cheating in a Skype interview by trying to lip sync someone else's answers.

Footage shared online shows the Indian man's lips moving while another person answers the interviewer's questions.

When he is asked a follow-up question, the recruiter understands the man is cheating and asks him to stop talking.

He says, laughing: "Man, hold on hold on, I think it's not you who is speaking, someone else is speaking here and you're just lip syncing."

The interviewer says he can also hear the candidate's voice, as well as the person speaking.

The man scratches his nose and remains quiet.

He then appears to press a button on his computer.

The interviewer adds: "I caught you... I mean, it's not the right way man. I already told you that it's not the position that someone comes and gives you a task and you get on with it, it's a very senior level position where you need to manage the entire instance."

At this point, the candidate can be seen bowing his head, but he does not say anything.

"I'm sorry, you're not going to continue this interview process," the recruiter tells him.

"Going forward I suggest you not [take] like this. I mean you need to be very formal, at least practice before you take the interview for these kinds of things.

"I clearly caught you, you know. You're also speaking in a very low voice, syncing your lips. Okay? I'm sorry about that, thank you."

The video, which appeared on Mail Online , was first released in 2017.

The clip ends when one of the two men ends the Skype chat.
