Can someone please explain to me why someone does not return my call? Please understand, I am not asking this of someone that does not know me or who is not doing business with me currently, however, I am asking those that are my clients and candidates that I am currently working with.
A call back 36 hours later due to being too "busy" just does not make sense to me. If we are working together, either I am recruiting on your behalf or you are a recruit, I think it is only professional and a common courtesy to take two minutes to call me back. I have never had a schedule in which I could not get away to make a call from my cell phone. A simple phone call while walking to your car, coming back from lunch or on your way home can alleviate many issues or answer some questions that may arise. There could be a number of reasons for calling and at times the information is critical for either party. Remember, there is another participant that is dependent on our communication, someone you may even work with in the future. By not returning a call not only is it a slight to me but towards them as well.
In our industry, communication is vital to being successful. So I ask you to, please make a conscientious effort to return your Executive Recruiters calls. It might just be an opportunity of a lifetime waiting on the other end, but if you get too busy or forget to call me back, you may miss out.
