Hey! What’s a normal time to have interviews? I just got an invite for a 7 pm interview and I feel like that is not appropriate. Should it be a red flag for the work life balance?

Note: we are the same time zone

Not appropriate! That's bizarre. I think there's some leeway up until 6pm but anytime after that is dinnertime!

How do you give interviews during work time. Given my work atmosphere, i prefer an after work or before work interview.

By the way, the above is a question out of genuine curiosity.

I had the same experience back when I worked on-site! I needed to take a quick huddle for myself during work hours and then work a bit more later in the day or take a shorter lunch break. I know this setup is convenient for us, but I also try to put myself in the recruiters’ shoes, they have their own working hours too.

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time. I’ve did these calls with 3 recruiters and is yet to hear back from someone. Today would be the 4th recruiter that I’ve spoken to. Does this practice annoy you guys just as much as it does us? My dream career is to be a technical recruiter but this whole thing is discouraging.
