Oh. I thought this thread was in "Business / Contracts", not "Light Relief".
And there's me been looking online for ages for examples / stories of being having done so / caught someone out for doing so.

I m sure it would work - If found out then I can claim to be the substitute

In fact I often do it the other way around too. I have 20 bobs fresh off the boat from India living in a one bedroom flat in the East End and I go to the interviews, get the contract and then send one of the bobs in there as a subbie. They work for 100 quid a day and I cream off the rest.
Works a treat and I've never been caught out.

It is fairly common practice at some driving test centres to send a family member or friend to sit your test for you.
icCoventry - Police monitoring Nuneaton driving test centre for imposters
Coventry Telegraph - News - Coventry News - Man jailed for fiddling Nuneaton driving test
It must happen in exams all the time, especially Thomson Prometric test centres.
That rather suggests some people do the same at interviews.
