- dyingkneepad 6y agoMy family texts me (whatsapp) asking if/when they can call me.
- ValentineC 6y agoRecruiters call? I would have expected them to use other more asynchronous methods like text or email, unless you strongly indicate a preference.
- dhosek 6y agoAt least in the Chicago area, they seem to really prefer to speak on the phone. I'm hard of hearing so phone conversations are challenging at best and despite that, when I've actually been looking for work and talked with recruiters, if they do e-mail it's to ask me to call them. It's seriously annoying. I think a lot of recruiters here have managers who take the view that if they're not on the phone they're not "working."
- dbbk 6y agoRecruiters call me a lot in the UK. I assume it's because they're able to command your attention as long as you stay on the line. Emails are easily ignored.
