Askethos Avis 4

Fake Job advertisement and AI-driven interview to train their model.

Ethos definitely seems to be a scam. I was contacted by a recruiter. Applied for a job. My account has been in "Review" status for 2 weeks! Not the actual job application, but just my account.

The recruiter does not respond to the numerous follow up emails. There is no contact info for Ethos. I still see the job position constantly being advertised on LinkedIn. No sure if it's just a scam or they are trying to get people to set up profiles to give an appearance that they have a larger database for consultants.

Regardless, BEWARE!

Seems to be scam. There is no way to contact support. I have done the sign up and the AI interview, however, never heard back.

I assume they just gather sign-ups with fake opportunities.

I had a concerning experience with this company’s hiring process. They advertise roles and invite candidates to complete an AI-led interview based on their experience, but the overall process felt unusual.

For context, I’ve worked with a range of established expert networks, so I’m familiar with how legitimate screening and matching processes typically operate. This experience did not feel aligned with those standards.

During the interview, I engaged in a detailed back-and-forth with an AI system that asked questions closely aligned to my expertise. After completing it, I was informed that I was not successful. While that outcome is of course normal in any hiring process, the experience itself raised some questions.

In particular, it felt less like a traditional evaluation for a specific role and more like a structured interaction designed to gather knowledge or responses. I can’t say this with certainty, but it gave me the impression that the process may be used, at least in part, to train or improve their AI through human interaction.

I would encourage the company to be more transparent about how candidate responses are used and whether the roles advertised reflect active hiring needs.

I also requested that my data be deleted and not used further, but I have since received additional emails inviting me to continue engaging with their AI system, which was unexpected.

Based on my experience, I would advise others to approach with caution.ce, I would advise others to avoid this company.
