Recruiters: please don’t call someone to tell them they didn’t get the job. They think you’re calling because they did get it.

Tell them over email, THEN offer to hop on a call for feedback.

Thankfully (?), I’ve been job searching long enough that nothing surprises me anymore. Just went with it and turned the conversation into a normal vibe.

Absolutely.

The only thing more frustrating than being rejected after multiple interviews is receiving an email from the recruiter to “jump on the phone” only to find out that we’re being rejected on a call.

At my company, we call candidates no matter what the decision is. This way they are able to get direct feedback on why they weren't picked for the role. We found that when we email candidates, they come back adn ask why so it just saves the trouble.

Yeah I’d strongly push your company to reconsider this policy.
