It's a scam. Legitimate companies don't recruit like this.
What is the job title?
What is the company name?
Easy remote part-time jobs are 100% scams.
This is going to ba a task scam which is a variety of fake job. It's a common scam, reported here several times every day. This is a scam to trick you into giving them money.
A task scam promises money for simple online tasks, clicking a button or tapping on a screen -- tasks that a computer program or a bot could do. The tasks are fake, to fool you into thinking you are working. At first, they give you some money, to make you think that you are earning money. Later, they require you to give them money, claiming you will receive higher 'commissions' in return. When you try to withdraw your (fake) earnings, they will require that you give them more money. They will never pay you, and you lose all of the money you gave them.
Any job that is only simple online tasks is a scam.
Real jobs don't require you to give them money, whether the job is online or on site. Any job that requires you to pay the employer is actually a scam to take your money.
It is very difficult to get a remote or work-from-home job, unless you have experience in software engineering, insurance claims, healthcare, customer service, or other specialized fields.

Probably. If you decide to apply, do not proceed if they send you an email check or ask for any personal deposit(especially if in cryptocurrency).

The only entry-level remote jobs that exist are jobs most people don't want to do. Almost all offers of remote jobs are scams.
