Do recruiters strategically tell you that they live in another time zone so they have lead time between tasks/calls? Is this a thing?

I was wrong. I just checked and she said she call me at 12:30est, but called me an hour later. I understand that people busy and at least she didn’t ghost me. I just have always had a rough time with internal recruiters at this particular org and I thought maybe it was just the culture of the workplace there. Also, I’m about to take a quick break from the job hunt to let my brain re-spool. It’s just so exhausting.

Yes! I’m a recruiter. Time zones are different so you need to keep up with that.

How would being in a different time zone create lead time? Not following your train of thought.

I agree, I think that's just poor communication on their part! I don't think there's much strategy there, but who knows? I could be wrong.

Why wouldn't they just be honest...

No shame in being busy

You do know that being in a different time zone doesn’t literally mean they’re living life in a different time than you, right?

So long as it's true. But I guess it should work both ways so ask them about the gap and letthem know the times you're available.

Hi guys! I had an interview last Saturday with the CEO for an EA role (that was the 3rd interview). The company rushed the process for me because they knew I had another offer. The first 2 interviews went extremely well that’s why they rushed & asked the ceo to interview me on a Sat. morning. Huge common point: The CEO and I are both French. The interview went kinda weird… it was less than 15min. Looked distracted/ not prepared. When I asked him questions he barely elaborated. Comments⬇️

It amuses me to see that -
Companies sumtym prefer selecting guys who did their bachelor's from some private shitpot college than someone from a very good government college.

If someone has showed grit in past by toiling to get into top 10 colleges - he is going to give company better results in operational efficiency and creativity than a guy who scored 50-60% and spend lakhs for admission without any struggle?

HR guys -do u evn know hw much struggle that is? Do you factor dat in ur decision?
