My interview experience with JYSK was unfortunately frustrating and far from what I expected from a company of this scale. The process began with a pre-recorded interview, which I completed and followed up on after hearing nothing for over 1.5 weeks. Eventually, I received a response from a Talent Acquisition Manager. The virtual interview that followed was disappointing. He was 10 minutes late, sipping coffee, yawning, and visibly disengaged throughout, which felt disrespectful. I later received an email from the Richmond store manager inviting me for an in-person interview. The email came late in the day with a pre-set time, without asking for my availability. I responded promptly, explaining I work full-time and offered four alternative time slots. I didn’t hear back for three days. When I followed up by calling the store, I was told bluntly, “I’m busy. I’ll reply when I have time,” before the call was abruptly ended. The next day, I received a one-line email saying he wasn’t available for any of the times I proposed. I responded again, offering more flexibility though it meant taking time off work. The reply I got was again a one-liner: “I am not available.” No effort to reschedule, no professionalism, and zero courtesy. I was genuinely interested in the role and the brand, but this experience reflected poor communication, lack of respect for candidate time, and a discouraging attitude from someone in a leadership role. I hope JYSK reevaluates how its hiring teams engage with potential employees because candidate experience matters.

Apply online, schedule a call with HR for a phone interview, then you are called in for a meeting with the district manager and store manager. Very straightforward and fair
