Is it bad not to have any questions during the recruiter screen call? Just seems like most of them are in a rush to get off the phone and only want to go through the admin/compliance stuff. They never know in depth info about the actual job

External or internal recruiters? If external, I would def ask questions you would not ask an interviewer/employer directly like compensation, benefits, pros and cons of the employer, previous placings with the employer, why the position was open/vacated, etc.

And yes you’re right external recruiters are there to move things quickly and make the quick buck asap. Sometimes theyre not just working with you for that specific job, they might have 3 or 4 people they’re looking to line up for interviews.

I was thinking of internal specifically but it can definitely be true for either

Hello Fishes, I interviewed at a company in October and they responded to me after a month. I accepted the verbal offer last week Wednesday. They said they would give written offer in a week.

Their process is so slow that I don't really want to miss out on any chance.What would be a great time to follow up?
