A Sydney recruiter has left Gobsking for a question of a job search engine about an alleged “red flag” who have witnessed their job search.
Tammie Christofis Ballis, specialized recruiter and career coach in realistic careers, often gives social networks advice to those who go through the job search or the interview process.
Duration one of his sessions of questions and answers live recently on Tiktok, there was a particular question that caught his attention.
“Would you give you a recruiter call at 7pm a red flag?” A user of social networks asked.
“Absolutely not. Why would you think is a red flag?” Ballis replied.
She explained that if a recruiter goes to the effort to call him at 7 pm, then it means that you are the “right person for work” and wants to present it quickly.
Speaking to News.com.au, Ballis said recruiters often work outside the normal hours to find the appropriate candidate.
Calling out of regular work hours also means that they are not interrupted in their current work if you have one.
“So it is absolutely not a red flag, in any case, it should be flattering,” he said.
The video response left the recruiter based in Sydney even more baffled.
Even after explaining why the situation, an event call, was a positive signal, many people were still firm, it was a red flag.
“Huge red flag. Do not bother the free time of people outside of business hours. Call the duration of normal hours like everyone else. The audacity of these people,” said one.
“No, I would be angry. After hours it is family time. It establishes unhealthy expectations that it is expected to work extra hours at all?” Another wrote.
Many claimed that he showed disrespect for personal time and poor time management in the recruiter.
Others also mistakenly stated a recruiting call after the 5 PM violates the new right to disconnect the laws.
The new laws only relate to employees who have the legal ability to ignore contact outside the hours, either by their employer or a third party related to their current work.
While people can certainly reject the call of a recruiter if they wish, it has nothing to do with the right to disconnect the legislation.
Ballis said this type of thought “generates right and laziness.”
However, there were those who agreed with Ballis, saying that they would be happy to attend a call later in the day if they put forward in their job search.
A person said that “with pleasure” he would receive a call at 7 pm if I keep Stoone was a sem subsion job.
Another said that “it was not a red flag at all,” saying that they recently received a call on the night of a recruiter who was excited to know that his application had progressed.
“He apologized for hours after hours, but said that in general most candidates cannot take the calls for the commercial time while they are working, so they save their calls after the hours,” they said.
Another agreed, questioning why someone would make a call about another job in front of their bosses and colleagues.
“Denances that cannot attend to 7,” added another. “I receive a call at 9.30 pm after a text message the other night about reserving a final interview for a job! Demons, yes, now I am preferred to the candidate and I slept well without worrying! It is no longer beautiful.”
The labor market is pressed at this time, and Ballis says that there are often sinks, if not thousands of people, they request a single job.
And, in their experience, if people complain about something as simple as responding a phone call outside the work hours, then it will only harm them in the long run.
“When everyone is full of 1,000 people requesting work, if you have an attitude that someone calls it at 7 pm … it will not succeed in life. It is literally so simple,” he said, adding that this type of behavior shows a recruiter with whom this person in particular will be difficult to work.
In fact, the Sydney recruiter said that if he tried to contact someone and asked him to call the backward work hours, he would raise a red flag.
“He shows that they really do not want the opportunity and I will not waste my time in some who tell me how to do my job,” he said, adding that he would see in a applicant who appreciates his follow -up.
She thought, she added that “it goes both ways” and is “absolutely” well to call a recruiter after the standard office hours.
Ballis has made people call her on Saturday or Sunday afternoon and she knows that she simply comes as part of the work.
“People like to hit the recruiters, but those of the agency, at least, are the ones who work outside the normal hours. It is not uncommon for them to make days of 12 or 16 hours, but that is why they do the great commissions.”
