How do you let a recruiter know you're no longer interested in moving forward with a call you scheduled with them? After doing research, I found out the company that reached out is really toxic

You don't. You take the call and learn from What they say and what they ask and practice your interview skills and develop future professional connections.

Seems like a waste of everyone’s time. Do your research prior to agreeing to a call

You could take the call and ask for a really high salary from that place just to see what happens and sharpen your negotiation/interviewing skills

You can either have the call and practice your interviewing skills, and then tell them you decline to proceed, or just tell them upon further thought it’s not the right time and sorry to have scheduled a call.

You could be honest and say that after further research, you’re no longer interested. OR, take the call, hear them out, ask a few questions. If they offer you the job, take some time, “to think about it” and come back and say no.

The normalization of "on hold" by the usual suspects. Had 6 interviews in past 4 months with D_itte Get the verbal offer from HR. Yay. Fast forward to following Monday. Get thanked for my complimentary followup sent post-final interview. 48hrs later, same recruiter (on speakerphone) tells me job is now hold and "you must be upset" and good luck in your search.

Tacky AF. Tell me I was rejected by the shadowy 5-person board or it was given to someone who wanted less. Just not this b.s.

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area. My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
Please guide
