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.

Phone interview with HR, then on to an interview with the store manager and the district manager. The role pays well, offered 48k to start. It pays well because it is not a good manager role but is a lot of work. They are having a hard time attracting good candidates company wide. No real business aspect to the store, more just a rented space with furniture and bedding pilled on skids. Not corporate infrastructure to support the stores. This all would equal and dead end job that you would be depressed to go to
