Correct. They sounded like human. The pacing was natural, it was real time, no lag. It felt human for the most part. There was even a background noise, which made it feel authentic.

EDIT: I'm almost tempted to go back and respond to that email now. Just out of curiosity, to see how soon I'll see a human.

Truly bizarre. Thanks for sharing.

As a general rule I always do these talks with camera on; more reason to start doing it now if you're not. But I'm sure even that will eventually (sooner rather than later) be spoofed by AI as well.

What an awful time.

It's equally possible that it's phishing of some sort instead of genuine recruiting, so do be careful

I am thinking identity theft. They make you talk, record you so they can speak again with your voice.

I only answer by phone to numbers in my contact nowadays, unless I know I have something scheduled with someone but do not yet know the exact number that will call me.
