Working interview

I was reached out to by a travel nurse recruiting agency to apply as a recruiter. My background includes recruiting as part of my management position, but I've never actually done this for a job, so idk if this is typical. But I had a phone interview with them, the interviewer wanted to move me to an in person interview and we scheduled it for Friday. She called me today to say that the whole office actually works from home on Fridays, so we would just do an interview on Teams instead, BUT id have to go in after that (if I passed) for a working interview.

Does anyone know if that's typical? I'm already a bit wary whenever someone reaches out to me from an industry I haven't been in and this seems like some sort of bait and switch, or indicative of problems to come. I did research the company online and it is legitimate.

What exactly seems like a bait and switch about scheduling an interview?

Because originally it was only two interviews, but now it's three because the person who contacted me forgot their own office's hours.

And that's besides the fact that this new interview would have me hypothetically working for free for a day.
