Deel

An individual applied for a job through Indeed, completed interviews, and received a formal offer. They verified the company's registration, address, and bank account legitimacy but remain concerned about depositing a $4,000 check for equipment before receiving an approved vendor list. The company confirmed the offer via a verified careers email and acknowledged miscommunications.

Job acceptance rates at major companies like Deel have dropped to 0.2%, falling below Harvard's acceptance rate, as AI screening tools eliminate most applicants. The trend has made it increasingly difficult for job seekers, especially new graduates, to stand out in competitive hiring processes.
