I've experienced the following hiring remotely:

* A candidate who was caught lip syncing to someone talking in the room behind them.

* A candidate who had air pods to listen to someone coaching them.

* Plenty of candidates who just wont turn on the video no matter what.

Remote interviewing has some bizarre drawbacks.

Funny story: I was interviewing a candidate who was lip syncing. They used internet lag as an excuse for the de-sync between audio and video. Anyway, we got into some questions about how they manage branches and features etc and the candidate started to fall asleep! But we could still hear the other person answer questions lol
