When you find a new job, make sure you let your current employer get to know that the recruiting agency they engage limit the possible competent applicants to fill the vacancy.

Ruthless, they must have known before so they could have flagged for it beforehand. It would have given the opportunity for people to perhaps cut down on spending for the holidays plus that there tend to be job ads to apply out in november and december.

Maybe the fridge thing is that they want a non vegan or a vegan?

The passport questions. Perhaps it is depending on what the company does. If they provide things or services that are sensitive in security are, defense etc. In many positions you would have to be a citizen in the country of operation but moreover some countries do not accept that people who have fled the country even to give up their citizens, and more so those countries also tend to pester their expatriates for information leaks and what not. And of course, this should be stated in the job description but since people often apply if they are optimistic or can't weed out what requirements are an absolute must and what is a wish they may have a questionnaire where the applicant specifically must answer yes or no to every requirement.

@Chonkasaurus Maybe they have, and thereby figure that "personality tests" are very pseudo scientific, especially where you are supposed to evaluate a statement where there is kind of insufficient information in the statement.

I live in Sweden, here are those who charge "penalty fees" but it is typically where the employer have provided an education during the employment. Tpypically it is in with the public sector, like the sphere of defence, or other type of security that have an experience and education provided for that is attractive on the private market. The "penalty" fee is based on an estimated worth/cost of the specific education (for instance pilot or specific engineering in some area) and then some reasonable amount of years to stay to have earned it to let go "free" perhaps 5-7 years.

A great portion of the shareholders that sometimes a bit hostile is called the "faceless capital" with a doomsday tone to it. But what it is is pension fund companies and one problem is the structure of the population pyramid, the "boomers" who relatively recently took retirement become older thanks to medical progress so they are expected to live longer and thus more pensions are expected to be paid out. Unfortunately they did not have as many kids working and deliver in payments to the pensions*. And in many parts of the world, more recent generations tend to have chronic illness at an earlier age also. So fewer workers should support more pensioners. * The part of social security fees you deliver in today are not earmarked for your pension, the money is used to today's pensioners and you have a claim of some amount which may be pushed to the future (by for instance raising retirement age which has already happened and likely will happen again, my parents got retired at 65 but I am in the country I am probably be expected to work to about age 70 while the current age of retirement is 67).

@chicagodan1981 I presume it can be something of assessing if you are a "risk" of some sort. But there is a flaw with, if a poor credit report can be because of financial insufficiency, that income and expenses mismatch in a time flow. This while someone with a clean report may have a more pronounced appetite for a more advanced lifestyle, and these are the people that is often found as perp in corruption, taking side orders or even doing the insurance dance with their partner. In journalist reporting or try crime content the latter are sometimes described as "having financial problems", but when digging into the facts of the case they often have maintained higher lifestyle status (driving nice cars, address in a posh neighbourhood, fancy vacations etc) with a clean report for a good time trough somewhat deceptive or nefarious means.

Did they cause this stress in a manipulative way to their employees in hope it would generate attention that would give them more orders for home spa treatments and such? I'm thinking it such a peculiar idea it take a specific mindset to do it that obviously can drive trough things without anyone saying anything to question it?
