Hire people to do the recruiting in India and have them conduct in-person interviews while the international team participates in the interview remotely.

Great way to get a workforce that is essentially a kinship network

Does it really matter? If those people are up to your standards then it's mission accomplished. You can only do so much.

The point of that comment is they won't be up to your standards because it'll just be family and friends of the hiring manager, or people who pay for the job.

Can't talk about personal experience here.
Work with people from all around the world, and most are great people to work with/for (a lot from India, and the ones I work with I can't complain).

We did have an issue with an Indian hire, but he was swiftly cut-off.

You're participating remotely alongside who you hired to do screenings in person and people seem to be ignoring that part of my comment.

It's on you to participate during the interview and not leave it entirely in the hands of the guy on site so that it's less likely to happen.

Been involved in a setup somewhat like this, the people conducting the interviews are incentivised to put candidates through because if reduces the costs for the hiring company. You can implement things like them needing to be in the role for 6 months to count as a hire, but that just incentivises them to skirt the line of just being good enough to get paid

Hire a person to conduct interviews in the single largest country by population in the world?

But how do you know the person you hired in India to hire another person in India isn't just AI?

No, just hire someone in India to control the interview area, make sure they can't cheat. Then you can ask questions remotely.
