I once had a conversation with a dude in the waiting room at the doctor’s clinic. He said he purposely delayed in-person interviews for up to an hour sometimes so he can “judge” how the applicant reacts and show their dedication to getting the job. I pretty much stopped engaging after he said that. Fortunately I was called up shortly.
Seems that he is confusing desperation for dedication. The only people who are going to wait for an hour are those who have no other choice.
It seems to me that he is really testing their ability to put up with his bullshit more than anything. One of my biggest pet peeves professionally is respect for the time of others.

Always tell these people that they’re despicable to their face. It’s the only way to change their toxic culture.
So he’s pissing off all the great candidates who have better options.
