Is it weird when a 3rd party recruiter you’ve never met constantly calls you out of the blue? No set up...no “hey are you free at noon?” Just random phone calls while I’m at work.

They got mad at me when after unsolicited call #6, I was like “Hey, wanna email me first to set up a time? Kinda hard to deal with cold calls.” They didn’t think of themself as a cold caller... but if I’ve never met you or done business with you, calling out of the blue to drum up business is the definition of cold calling.

I'm holding an offer from MakeMyTrip and another offer from OlaElectric. Ninjacart is willing to make me an offer.

There's been a delay from HRs of the companies in a similar way. How do I urge them to send me the offer letter without sounding pushy? I had reached out to some of the HRs myself. Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?
