Tammie Christofis Ballis, a Sydney recruiter, encountered surprising feedback during a TikTok Q&A when a viewer questioned the appropriateness of a recruiter calling at 7 p.m. She defended evening calls as a positive indicator of candidate importance, as recruiters often work late to avoid disrupting current job commitments. Despite her explanation, many viewers expressed discomfort, citing concerns about boundaries and respect for personal time, demonstrating a significant divide in perceptions surrounding after-hours communications in job recruitment.
Recruiters often work outside normal hours to connect with candidates; a 7 p.m. call may indicate the candidate is highly valued for the job.
Even after explaining the merits of evening calls, many still viewed them as a red flag, expressing concerns about respect for personal time.
