TL;DR job app asked me for the verification code proving I completed the questionnaire “in order to proceed”. I completed it with a fake SSN and the verification code was 1234.

Try putting in 1234 if you encounter this.

This – “Work Opportunity Tax Credit Questionnaire” – came up when applying through one of the big job search sites in the U.S. Turned out this was posted by a corporate staffing agency. Not the biggest one.

The Questionnaire asks for PII including social security number, name and address.

You are not required to do this, despite their absurd web form that states “optional field is required” or some shit. In my case, they wouldn’t get any tax credits anyways
