In a Zoom Job Interview, the Recruiter Asked Me to ‘Show Her Around the Room

It's probably because of the massive amount of fraud going on , with people pretending to be someone else to get the job. Reddit seems particularly bad about seeing things from anyone else's perspective.
I don't see where massive amounts of fraud have anything to do with basic human rights to privacy and being treated ethically. In fact, massive amounts of fraud is just a thing people say when they want to distract from something else that constitutes inexcusable corporate cultural behavior.
How does seeing the room a person is in prevent fraud? "I see you have a different room than the one I saw when I spied through your window, so I know you're lying about who you are"?
Surely seeing photographic identification would be a better way of detecting fraud than seeing someone's room?
That’s identification. It doesn’t account for other modes such as candidates having people “coach” them in real-time, either virtually or in the room. Yes, it absolutely does happen. The risk/reward of “cheating” a job interview is fantastic from the candidates perspective.
So what we're saying here, is that fraudsters aren't smart enough to figure out this measure is being introduced and work around it?
“Turn sideways to expose deep fakes” was on the front page yesterday. I can only assume it’s because of candidate fraud.
@dang Should we instead link to the reddit post boredpanda is regurgitating (and monetizing)?

I wouldn't want to work at a place where they ask you this.
this is from reddit, i wouldn't be surprised if it was just made up.
Possible. I also wouldn't be surprised if it's actually real either.
This would be word-for-word my response to the interviewer.
> I asked her why, and she said that the role
that requires a lot of organization and time
management, and "you can tell a lot about
a person from the way their room looks."
This made me wonder: when you chat with a colleague over VC, how much does their room's state influence your impression of your colleague?

Ah yes, the ol' "turn an unverified reddit thread into a news article"
I ended up blocking boredpanda.com from my Google news feed as every day there was some variant on "52 times someone did something negative to someone else".
"Sorry, I don't show people I just met my private space."
