The New Landscape of Remote Hiring
Not every unusual hiring step is a scam — but job seekers are right to be cautious.
For this special post, we’re featuring a new video from Chris Durst, co-founder of Rat Race Rebellion, whose work has helped job seekers avoid scams for decades.
In today’s remote hiring landscape, things are changing. More companies are using identity verification, video confirmation, third-party platforms, and pre-interview assessments—steps that can feel like immediate red flags if you’re not expecting them.

In this video, Chris breaks down why these changes are happening, what’s becoming normal, and which warning signs still matter.
Because staying cautious is smart – but automatically treating every unfamiliar step like a scam can cost you legitimate opportunities.
