Part 3/7:
The recruiter clarifies that these calls are scheduled in advance, with the candidates self-selecting a convenient time. Moreover, there are multiple layers of preparation designed to ensure smooth communication:
Candidates receive reminder emails about the upcoming call.
They have the recruiter's contact information beforehand.
The recruiter’s calling time aligns with the designated schedule, reducing the chance of missed or accidental calls.
Despite these measures, the common pattern persists: the candidates answer the phone but do not initiate the conversation with a greeting. Instead, they wait silently until the recruiter or interviewer speaks first. This behavior is consistent across multiple instances, suggesting it’s a widespread trait among some in Gen Z.
