Calls. Everyone wants to talk or even video chat. It’s the most annoying thing, not only by recruiters; everything is a voice/video meeting nowadays instead of mail or text.
- vlfig 5y agoA request for a synchronous form of communication is a request for your time. People should earn it first.
- gorgoiler 5y agoI tell them that it’s important to me to talk to them, but it’s not the most important thing I’m doing right now. A call requires my immediate attention. An email requires, and will get, my attention.
- gedy 5y agoOne 3rd party recruiter told me once that this is so they get paid in case the lead bypasses them and applies directly to company. Anyone aware if this is common?
- joezydeco 5y agoI do it all the time, because 90% of the time the recruiter is lazily cut-and-pasting the job description directly from the company's own public listing, typos and all. 5 seconds with a search engine and I can usually find the exact job. Now I know the name of the company you're so carefully trying to avoid naming.
- barnaclejive 5y agoCalls++ The initial intro and description can be handled via email or text. If not, well that is a red flag right away.
- jopsen 5y agoI'm guessing it's a good way for recruiters to gauge your interest too.. You're not going to take a call from someone you couldn't imagine working for.
- Booleans 5y agoI just say "please send me the job description" instead of agreeing to a call. If it looks like a good fit then we can arrange a call.
