How did the random recruiters get your phone number? And then, if you want to
speak with them at all, why don't you tell them as the very first thing in
the phone call to send you an e-mail with the offer?
When an idiot recruiter sends me a message asking for my phone number (and
I know he/she is an idiot, because I have prominently stated in my profile
that I don't casually give my phone number away and prefer text messages),
I always ask them to send me ad details in text.
- mrtksn 9y agoWell, I put my number on my CV then uploaded that CV to CV-Library. Later I removed my number but I think my profile is being shared and I still get few calls a day. When a recruiter calls, I tell them to send me an e-mail instead but they are almost never happy with this and they try to make me talk right now. Very pushy behaviour in general.
- dozzie 9y agoWell, it's them who want to talk to you, not the reverse. If they're unhappy to contact you in your preferred way, just tell them to fuck off and disconnect.
- davelnewton 9y agoOnce a resume with a phone number is out there it's fair game for "random recruiters".
