[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is all so amusing to me. My company doesn’t even have phones anymore… [/quote]

[b]Don’t you have a phone number assigned to your Teams account?[/b] Someone calls and it rings you on Teams on your computer?

I’m GenX and conversations are a lost art with the later generations. Everyone wants to fire off an email. Sure it’s quicker and easier but sometimes details are missed without a conversation.

I applaud her for wanting to call. In fact, it’s worked at my company with potential hires. But I think in this day and age she’s got to try all approaches- applicant tracking systems, recruiters, phone calls, networking.[/quote]

No, you’d call by my email teams to teams. No traditional phone number. Of course people have cell phones and they can answer from their app on their cell too.

Old style - Pstn public switched telephone network are traditional phone lines. We no longer use them. We have a very small ATT add on plan that allows for routing- called session border control- for 911 calls.

Teams is cloud, VOIP voice over internet.

If someone dug up a hiring mangers personal or cell phone number somehow 
(our ads don’t say who that is fwiw) and called them directly, that candidate would be removed from consideration [/quote]
