I suspect cheating is not the primary problem. I suspect, like so many other decisions in software, the primary problem is unrealistic and unfounded expectations. This behavior typically comes from unmeasured assumptions that may work well in one narrow circumstance applied into an unrelated circumstance and then blaming the result instead of the decision. This is bias.

Unless there is a solution that directly addresses hiring bias this company will fail like all the others before it for exactly the same reason: their clientele will apply bias (the actual cause of the problem), be unhappy with the result, and then blame the service provider. In sales the client is never wrong, which means the service provider is always wrong. This is why software overspends on recruiters and then invents fantasies like React developers with a year of experience are rare.
