I will conclude on the valid point about how, in the case of mass recruitment, one can know the person applying online is the real applicant. Every person is required to apply with photographic ID and receives a unique identifier. After the second test, successful candidates are brought forward for supervised tests. There is still an unanswered question. It could potentially give a person a leg up if he or she got over the first hurdle with assistance.
