How does one verify the proof of work for candidates who share links of their work ?
We are hiring frontend developers. I'm not a recruiter in my organisation, but was tasked with going through the links the candidate has shared as proof of work (real life published projects). How does one verify that person sharing the links have actually worked on those projects ? PS: we are hiring remotely
You cannot. The Interview is everything. Spend time on interviewing a candidate. DS algo must be the last round. Basic concepts must be the first followed by Basic coding.

Well, two things come to mind. First is to share GitHub code and second is to ask them questions on how they built some part of the project and dive deep into it. Ask the why they chose to do x over y. Wouldn't y be better? Etc. This will help you understand both about the candidate's capability and make sure they actually built the project they are claiming to have.
1. Search on Google & YouTube with the project titles & some description. If you find a similar looking tutorial/blog, then 🚫
2. Check how they've committed code on GitHub. If they've uploaded the project by using files upload, then 🚫
Thanks !
Was planning for the deep dive part in upcoming interview. But when we asked to share the GitHub code/repo, the candidate said he cannot share that as he is restricted by his current company
