- Would you answer a late-night text message from a recruiter after a job interview?
- The message is a test to help determine whether someone is a good fit for a job or a culture.
- William Vanderbloemen said not texting back isn't a dealbreaker but a fast reply is a definite plus.
You go to a job interview at 1 p.m.
Around 10 p.m., you get this text: "Hey, Tim. This is Ben. I work at Vanderbloemen. I was out of the office today. I heard you were there. Heard that everyone was really impressed with you. I'm sorry I didn't get to meet you. I would love to connect with you sometime. Hope that can work."
Do you reply? If so, how long does it take you?
Your decision might affect whether you're hired.
