Is this what the London job market has come to? (all this to land a minimum wage front desk job)

  2. Personally I would have replied with get fucked, but good luck to you.

  4. Truly unhinged. Note to self: never stay at House of Gods hotel. 

  7. The response “suck your mum” is most applicable for this bullshit time waste.

  8. Yeah no, not a performing monkey. Can I explain why my skills and experience make me a good match for the role instead of participating in humiliation rituals?

  10. I might take a day off from my actual job and just go along for a laugh. If they want to waste time with this Saturday night monkey shit interview technique, maybe I’ll rock up and waste their time right back, by applying for a job i don’t want or need.

  12. Maybe 10? years ago I went to interview for a job at Leon. They had us form groups and improvise a song. On a busy day in front of customers. I didn’t get the job.

    You just know this place would be a nightmare to work for.

  14. Group interviews/recruitment days and unpaid trial shifts should be illegal.

  17. All of that bollocks for a single position, or are they employing an entire team?

  18. OMG I saw a recruitment post for this piece of shit hotel on Caterer but it was no where near this bad, just the typical hospitality trash (must be able to work for 10 hours with no breaks, must be able to work mornings, evenings and nights for no pay etc) but this is a whole other level.

  19. What the hell is wrong with that company that they think this is acceptable? They’re jobseekers not trained poodles ffs. At least they let you know they’re idiots before you wasted the entire day on them I guess.

  20. uh the application address please do I can send them junk mails

  21. Just because Lord Sugar’s show is called the Apprentice does not mean you have to have that level of testing for a real apprentice.

  24. Is this a hotel job? FFS! I’ve been in hotels for 40 years and there is absolutely no way I’d put anyone through this.

  25. “they are looking for stars”

    great, I presume we’ll also be paid like stars?

  26. I hate how these “people teams” in companies attract the worst “talent acquisition executives” ever to grace the planet. Theatre kids who needed to get a salary so they instead come up with sadistic hiring processes like this.

  27. Be a real shame if someone plastered this all over their google/trip advisor reviews…

  28. What a set of cunts. Genuinely hope the place burns down and their insurance rejected the claim.

  29. Absolutely not worth it. Go on Gumtree or Craigslist and you’ll generally find employers who have an opening right now and don’t want to piss about for two weeks. They even have this horseshit in the saddest jobs like McDonalds. lol!

  30. If you’re ever wondering how Frankie Boyle’s interview question joke came about…

    Interviewer: “Mr Job Applicant, tell me where do you see yourself in five years…”

    Job Applicant: “Standing in the ruins of this building, pissing on your burning skull”.

  31. Christ, can imagine the people who may excel at this type of interview, and I couldn’t imagine working in a team full of them.

  32. I feel physically sick.

    **Stage 1:**

    *Brings out photo of family as requested, sobbing uncontrollably*

    “Please, look at them! This is my family – these are my kids! Please, look! I need to feed my kids! I need this job!”

    **Stage 2:**

    *Tears running through clown makeup*

    “I can sing and dance! Look! Hahahaha! I’m Mister Funnyman!”

    **Stage 3:**

    *The Joker monologue*

  33. Yeh, I wouldn’t want to work in a place that does this kind of interview…

  34. Are the recruiters paid by the hour or something??

  35. Stage 3..

    “I THINK THERE’S BEEN A RAPE UP THERE!!”

    Get their attention.

  36. When I first moved to London I was obviously desperate for a job. Did an interview at Leon that was a group interview where we were required to write and perform a jingle, and also to play Jenga.

    I also did a group interview for a hotel, can’t remember which one, that required building towers out of newspapers.

    Both felt like I was on a reality TV show where I, and many others, embarrass ourselves for rich people to laugh at. So humiliating for entry level jobs.

  37. Really kind of them to send out such a clear advert that this is a shit place to work. Most companies wait til you’re in the door so this level of transparency is refreshing

  38. I just walked out of group interview somewhat like this many moons ago.

  39. Yeah hard pass. Not indicative of the larger job market in this instance just a poorly run company.

    If you have budget to have an employee put this farce of an interview process together and then run all of these interviews they are already paying someone else way to much and could instead just allocate budget for above minimum wage for normal interviews that attract better qualified candidates.

  40. Whoever wrote this bollocks, shouldn’t be employed.

    Clearly an immature cretin, using other peoples lives as their entertainment.

  42. Absolutely insulting and avoid the sociopaths who obviously work there
