Job interview for 12pm

10 candidates all booked in for 12pm being seen individually by one person.

So whoever is here last will presumably be interviewed an hour later than booked.

Very unprofessional! The only time I've ever seen that happen was for a surgeon's appointment at their rooms. Every patient was booked for 9am and then you'd just wait your turn. Whilst the surgeon did their rounds at the hospital.

I wonder if it's like a last man standing type situation 😅 whoever is there at the end gets the job. Hang in there OP!

I’m an internal recruiter.
Unless the format was explained in advance to the candidate either by the recruiter or hiring manager I’d assume the company was a shitshow and run a mile.

Surely they’ll all be in there for at least half an hour? So about 6 hours later than scheduled for the last person.
Yes, very unprofessional!

An hour late? More like three…

The company is showing you in advance how they treat people. Act accordingly.
