Recruiters - you know that if you send an email (after a three week silence after the interview cycle) to a candidate saying “can we touch base? When are you available this afternoon and what’s a good phone number I can reach you at?”, and the candidate writes you back within the next minute, they’re going to now be tied to that phone for the rest of the day, right? And when you email the next day and say “sorry I couldn’t call you. When are you available today?”, the candidate now is tied to the phone waiting for you all day again? Why do they do this? I can’t imagine anyone in any industry treating other people this way. I can’t help but feel emotionally abused. Rant over, sorry folks. Needed to let it out somewhere.
