"The school recruitment was not prepared at that time, in order to enter the Internet 'big factory', a moment of ghost obsession to find an online test, 450 yuan hit the water drift, the written test is also directly 'hung'." Near the graduation season, Li Xia, a fresh graduate of a university in Sichuan, still has not found the job he wants, and in order to improve the pass rate of the written test, he purchased an online test service through a WeChat group. The seller claimed to be able to remotely manipulate the computer to help him in the written test, and as a result, the other party did a few multiple-choice questions and then went offline, and finally blocked him.
Like Li Xia, many fresh graduates often favor the Internet "big factory" in the job search process, but the road to entering the "factory" is not easy. Affected by the epidemic, from last year to the beginning of this year, online recruitment has become the mainstream, and some Internet "big factories" choose to pick written test questions from the question bank website to do for job seekers. Among them, the written test link dissuaded many job seekers with its high difficulty and large amount of questions.
Someone sniffed out "business opportunities" from it. Zhongxin Jingwei (WeChat: jwview) noted that some e-commerce platforms and social media platforms some sellers in the name of "big factory" employees or 985 college students to provide written test services for job seekers, charging 300 yuan to 500 yuan per hour, many claimed to be "packaged" and "the correct rate exceeded 80%."

Superficially selling "big factory" question banks secretly provides proxy examination services
On an e-commerce platform, searching for keywords such as "Dachang Written Test" or "Internet Written Exam", you can see that many sellers secretly provide proxy examination services in the name of selling "Dachang" written test question banks. These sellers often package the test as "assessment aids", which will automatically pop up when consumers consult customer service about the written test question bank.
Zhongxin Jingwei consulted a number of sellers as job seekers and learned that the service provided by the substitute examination only includes the administrative ability test (hereinafter referred to as the line test question) in the written test, and the professional questions need to be answered by the candidates themselves. Pricing varies from merchant to merchant, ranging from an average of 300 yuan to 500 yuan per hour. When asked how the accuracy rate is, a seller customer service said: "Can not do too high, the accuracy rate of 80%." "The score is too high like cheating, and HR (Human Resources) says that the normal written test score is around 57-70 points."

Another seller said that for the written test that does not need to open the camera, the written test link and login account number, password, etc. can be directly sent to the merchant to answer by the merchant. The written test that needs to open the camera has two ways to take the test, one is to take a picture of the question during the test process and send it to the merchant, and the merchant will give feedback on the answer to the job seeker's own answer; the other is to remotely operate the job seeker's computer instead of answering. The seller claimed to be the "teacher" who answered the question as a "big factory" employee, and said that "all are experienced, teachers do it every day, can match your time."
On a second-hand e-commerce platform, a seller who claimed to provide algorithmic written test tutoring said that he could provide "985 graduate students online services". The seller claims to be a graduate student of a well-known polytechnic university, the 1.5-hour written test costs 400 yuan, the accuracy rate needs to look at the question, can exceed 80%, plus 100 yuan can find another person to do together.

Another seller who claimed to provide Internet "big factory" written test tutoring claimed to be a student of a well-known university in Shanghai, with an accuracy rate of at least 80% on behalf of the exam, and the price was 300 yuan an hour.
Cheat if the written test is too difficult?
Some big companies say they will block cheaters
"The written test questions of the big factory are really too difficult! One of the questions that impressed me more was 'how many pet hospitals are there in Beijing', which is not a multiple choice question or a fill-in-the-blank question, but a big question with a score of about 15 points. Jin Han, a job seeker for an Internet company, told Zhongxin Jingwei.
On a job search forum, many job seekers complained that the Internet "big factory" written test questions were too difficult.
@ Today is another day with offers: Baidu written test, non-technical post, too difficult, all mathematical problems, I will not.
@Mingming: After watching the byte written test, this algorithm rookie said that he wanted to give up directly, it was too difficult.
@ Ling Xi: Ali written test is difficult to suffocate, first of all ten multiple choice questions, the test makes people doubt life, werewolf killing is out, programming is speechless, unable to start, programming questions out like reading questions, reading half a day did not read out of anything, was Pressed on the ground by Ali hammer ...
According to the 2020 fall recruitment data released by the recruitment platform Niuke.com, in the fall 2020 recruitment process, the website provided online written test services for more than 1.2 million candidates, with a cheating rate of 14%, that is, 1 in every 10 candidates had cheating.
In September 2019, Tencent Recruitment posted on the job search forum: "Catch 25 people cheating collectively, and all of them are blacklisted." "Once the cheating is verified, it is directly included in the blacklist of school recruitment, and the offer is directly withdrawn." In addition, Tencent Recruitment also mentioned: "The interviewer does not absolutely only look at the written test results, Tencent's written test does not set a pass score line, it is the interviewer's comprehensive resume to select and initiate the interview." The simple pursuit of high scores in the written test is a very wrong cognition, it is better to refine your project experience in the resume and improve some academic research results. ”
Recently, the relevant person in charge of ByteDance said in an interview with Zhongxin Jingwei that the company's recruitment process for fresh graduates is delivery, written test, interview, and offer. Among them, the proportion and importance of the written examination in the entire recruitment process varies according to the situation of the department. "Technical positions generally require a written examination, and non-technical positions are judged according to the needs of the post to determine whether a written examination is required, and the differences between different positions are large."
Internet "big factories" have also been improving solutions to deal with the problem of online written test cheating for job seekers. NetEase prompted job seekers in the written test notice to open video surveillance throughout the exam, using technology and manual inspection, once the cheating phenomenon is found, it will have a significant impact on subsequent admissions. Baidu also pointed out in the 2021 campus recruitment written test notice that finding someone to take the exam and plagiarizing the code is a serious cheating behavior, and the whole exam will use technology and manual spot checks to avoid exam cheating.
Experts: Merchants who organize cheating are suspected of criminal offenses
"No matter how difficult the questions are, I will not choose to take the test or cheat." Yang Xin, who is about to participate in the written examination for the recruitment of summer interns of Internet companies such as ByteDance, told Zhongxin Jingwei that he has brushed a lot of experience stickers on the job search forum, so he has some understanding of the composition of the written test questions and answering skills. "The risk of the substitute examination is too great, and it is the most practical to prepare yourself."
Zhao Zhanzhang, a lawyer at Beijing Yunjia Law Firm, said in an interview with Zhongxin Jingwei that job seekers take a non-state examination in the application process, but a written examination organized by the employer itself, which is not suspected of committing a crime, but it is also an act of dishonesty, and once the employer is found, even if the labor contract has been signed, it can be terminated according to law.
Zhao Zhanzhan pointed out that businessmen who organize cheating and are suspected of criminal offenses may, according to the provisions of law, be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention, and shall also be fined or fined individually; if the circumstances are serious, they may be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years and shall also be fined.
Jiang Han, a senior researcher at Pangu Think Tank, told Zhongxin Jingwei that for individual job seekers, finding a gunman ghostwriter will seriously affect their own credit, and once found by the employer, it will not only directly affect the job seekers to find jobs in the company, but even affect the job search process of job seekers in the entire industry. "If the phenomenon of proxy examination is popular in the recruitment process, it will inevitably have a great negative impact on the entire job market." On the one hand, the degree of trust of enterprises in job seekers will be reduced, on the other hand, it will trigger vicious competition, which is not conducive to the development of the entire job market. ”
