Has anyone dealt with a board/company called Confidential Careers?

I’ve noticed quite a few job postings from this company on LinkedIn, and the salaries listed for many of the EA roles seem unusually high—significantly above what I typically see. It made me question whether the company is legitimate.

Their website description reads: “Confidential Careers is a global job board that connects job seekers with opportunities.” Something doesn’t quite sit right with me, but I can’t put my finger on why. Has anyone had experience with or heard of this company?

I ran across this job ad and I busted out laughing. How many hoops does an applicant need to go through - 3 hours of homework on top of multiple interviews???

This is for a EA role, remote for a company called Code. They described the interview process:

Step 1: Informational Interview - learn more about the role and share your experience (30 minutes)

Step 2: Hiring Manager Interview (1 hour)

Step 3: Homework (~3 hours)

Step 4: Interviews with several members of the Code.org team (~3 hours)

Step 5: Final Interview (1 hour)

Step 6: Reference Checks

This is not an actual interview with a recruiter or someone from a management team, but a "brief on-demand screening to share more about your experience" They want me to record a 15 to 25 minute video so recruiters can review it and from there I guess they decide if they want to do an actual interview.

Am I tripping because this is just so bizarre to me. I'm even wondering if this is some sort of AI scam at this point. Has anyone been asked to do this sort of thing?

It is for a remote EA position if that makes a difference
