Guys, why are recruiting firms in Nigeria this wicked? I was invited for an interview which was to start by 9am. As at 12:30pm, I was still in the waiting room.
Why can't they give time to each person instead of inviting everybody to at the same time?
Eventually, I had to log out when I was tired.
This is wickedness oo

Hmmmm, the time wasting might be part of the interview, just to test your patience..........3 hours is not too much bro this Nigeria where things are abnormal....
Hardluck though...

The problem is that most recruiters see themselves as semi-gods. You can easily perceive the air of pride & arrogance all around them. This is not a test of patience but sheer irresponsibility.

In Nigeria, human dignity is never respected, especially towards Job seekers. It is inhuman to keep people waiting unnecessarily without a reason or an apology

Know this and know peace, we are what we are by the Grace of God.

Nigeria

Recruiting firms that already have their own chosen candidates for the Job ... The Interview is mostly to keep up an appearance of a legit selection...

Nigerians accuse Buhari of nepotism and corruption, while most Nigerians are terribly nepotistic and corrupt even in their small roles.. Buhari is the true personification of the average Nigerian..

To show how bad the situation is, even sharing rice in a Nigerian wedding is aggressively controlled by Cliques and Caucuses, friends, committees, Church groups, etc.. If you attend a Nigerian wedding without belonging to the dominant caucus there, You will watch people get their 3rd plate of food while you are left with Eva wine and Bigi Cola

☹️

Ok

Welcome to Nigeria

H

.

They feel the applicants are at their mercy !!

You should have sent an email to the Organizer to know if the meeting is still holding

The reasons I will never work for any man

It is an annoying situation but you got to keep applying to other jobs and message or call the company to remind them of the interview

You should have waited

Have had these experiences on 2 different occasions, those guys feel like small gods,thinking since you're needy,you would await till whenever they are ready.
Nigerians are naturally wicked and full of pride especially when they possess what you need.

Iyaebethegreat can confirm.

This is not a normal interview but a test for patience and data

Just use it to learn perseverance. But that is wrong on their part.

We should treat people with dignity regardless.

Wayward GenZ is written all over you. I hope your parents are rich else you will suffer.

Dem sub for you You don try, abeg.

I don wait from 9am to 5pm before, but it's a physical interview.

Some companies do this. It’s not right. Fix my time & keep to it. I may have other plans for the day

Too bad

That would be a very stupid thing to do though, why make people through cruel ordeals to test them?
If I could hazard a guess, I would say the company in question isn't worth the stress but OP is only trying hard to find a job that he would later regret.

Too bad

needed to be sure you are not engaged and trying to attend their interview then still go for half day job in your suspected current job. Get it? It also means you have no option and so could be cheap.
