Is this unprofessional?

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.

Please keep us updated OP. I very overinvested in what the actual interview will be like.

Personally I can’t imagine slagging off the place I’m about to interview at online!

Nope, a long standing local dental surgery. It is the dentist interviewing. He has also brought his son who is sitting at the front desk.

I had that happen for an NHS job (non-clinical, low level), and they explained it was for the same reason. They also explained that they'd put the wrong salary on the advert and the actual salary was about two grand lower, and this was in days when two grand was a fairly large proportion of the annual. I got a job in a different NHS organisation, had to work with the first organisation, and was not surprised at the first meeting when one of their staff said, dispiritedly, "we're shit and we know we are".

How old is his son? This all sounds bonkers and sooooo unprofessional!

Maybe places should have better interviewing processes then?

To give 13 people one interview time and leave people sitting for hours waiting? Not somewhere I'd want to work

About 9. He’s sat with the receptionist.

I think I would stick it out too to see what happens, and then tell them to shove it.

Number 14 has arrived……

I was first here. Being professionally early and respectful of their precious time…I’m good like that.

That's your question to them at the end of the interview.
How do you think the interview process at such a x, y, z (words they will have used at the interview) company should be managed.

OMG run! So many red flags here and that tells me they will be a terrible employer.

I had something similar at Loughborough uni, shit show of a job, told them I wasn’t interested, particularly when a PhD student told me I’d be making her solutions … fuck off, make your own like I did as a PhD student! Cheeky cow!!

I honestly have to laugh…it’s like the log flume at Chessington. They just keep coming.

Out…who will chosen next?

It’s number 13!?!!

If he’s going alphabetically…..

I’m a T…I’m here until the bitter end!

Though interview number 3 had about 15 mins I think so he’s getting into his stride now with the questions.

Nos 13 and 14 were late!

This was not lost on me!

13 out in 5 mins! Who next?

15 has entered the arena! Number 2 chosen!

Yes, this! ”what inspired you to devise this creative interview format?”
