The new job opportunity was at Novum, a pharmaceutical research company, and after being out of work for several months, Baustert, an HR director, was elated to reenter the workforce.
However, when a "concerning" check arrived in the mail, she knew it was too good to be true.
"After doing my research, I found out they were a legit, good company."
After receiving a follow-up letter asking to set up an interview, Baustert agreed.
She downloaded RingCentral, a video conferencing and messaging app, at the interviewer's request and seemingly had a good interview.
