Even though the photo provided to HR was fake, the person who was interviewed for the job apparently looked enough like it to pass.

why not send an actual picture of his face?

My guess would be that they needed to get a mid-point between existing photos of the guy whose identity they stole and the guy that would show up in the video interviews.
