I have been seeing more platforms request biometric data like facial scans and ID verification during applications. It feels like a lot to share, especially when the role itself does not require that level of sensitive information. With growing concerns around data security and how long this information is stored, it makes me more cautious. If biometric data cannot be changed like a password, when is it truly safe to share it?

Besides AI, the volume of bad actors from other countries involved in securing a job only to hack a company stealing heavily is large. Staffing firms have to work hard to be sure the applicant is real and not sitting in say DPRK

I hear you on the risk from bad actors. But asking regular job seekers to hand over non-revocable biometrics shifts the burden onto the wrong people.

Yes it does seem overly intrusive and I'm not in favor of it but in the age of AI they have to take extra precautions against scammers.

Agree. Flashing your ID to the hiring manager at the start of the interview should be enough. So long as they're not recording it.

I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.

If you’re a manager and you see an employee that wants to branch out into a different department, why would you keep them boxed in for 2+ years?

Are there some background mechanics that I’m missing?

Currently going through some negations on an internal role. I’m currently at 88k and they offered me 100k for a position that requires a lot more work.

They stated 120k+ is extremely high for that role. What do you guys think? Playing the game?
