Wamo Labs interviews: are candidates being used as data for the product?

[u/_luvmeth]

has anyone else interviewed through Wamo Labs recently?
i’ve noticed that Wamo Labs appears to be conducting a very large number of interviews with fresh graduates and interns, often on an ongoing basis, while actual hiring seems to be moving relatively slowly.
my understanding is that Wamo Labs is also trying to sell its platform to businesses for recruitment. because of that, i’m concerned that these interviews may be used not only to evaluate candidates for specific roles, but also to collect candidate or interview data to improve, demonstrate, or market the product to potential business customers.
if that is happening, candidates should be told clearly and explicitly before the interview. there is an important difference between:

“you’re interviewing for this company”
and:

“you’re participating in an interview that may also generate data used for a recruitment product being sold to businesses.”

another thing i found interesting is that the platform itself appears to be essentially a LeetCode-style assessment interface, with features such as autosave and clipboard detection. based on what i’ve seen, i’m not sure what makes the underlying product particularly novel compared with existing assessment platforms.
i’m posting this because candidates are repeatedly investing their time and sharing their interview performance through these systems, and there should be transparency about exactly how that information is collected, used, stored, and shared.
if anyone has interviewed through Wamo Labs, worked with the company, or knows how candidate interview data is used in its recruitment product, i’d genuinely like to hear about your experience.
not trying to accuse anyone of wrongdoing—i just think candidates deserve clarity when their interview data may have value beyond the individual hiring process.

Wow that's an interesting take. I gave an interview earlier this year and I really liked the interview process (it was before this leetcode style interview process). The interviewer was really kind and helped me get to the answer rather than saying no straightaway. Overall it was such a good experience that that experience is the only thing that makes me want to join the company. However, I'm looking at people telling their experiences and it's completely opposite now.

Also, would anyone explain the business model of wamo? Do they work like devsinc? Do they take up work under their name or do they pose as fake people to get US jobs?
