I used to do a lot of interviewing of prospective hires at my last job (I'm a programmer). It was not at all uncommon to ask a candidate a question and then hear multiple voices whispering in the background along with frantic keyboard tapping sounds, and the candidate would take 5-10 seconds before answering. I just don't understand what their thought process was for even attempting this - it earned them an immediate "no further action".

I won't say what country all of these candidates were from. It would be obvious to anyone in this field.

We've had similar before. Interviewed multiple people and most of them were clearly in the same room.
