I beg to differ with you sir.... The HR is not at fault.... The fact that you started by introducing yourself does not mean it only work that way... It goes both ways..
If you call me for example and I don't know your number, What will it take me to say Hello richy4 speaking.. it's just like a default setting for me.... Then U will say hi to me by calling my name, then introduce yourself to me.... If due to certain reasons you forget to introduce yourself, thinking I know you and might recognize your voice... I will say may I know who is speaking please.... It's just common etiquette and manners.. she is mannerless.
when u said she should have been cautious as a job seeker, were you indirectly implying that she should pretend to be nice while speaking to You as a HR then later unleash the stuff she was made of while working with customers?...No wonder mannerless people occupy customer service positions if U as someone working with HR couldn't see what the other HR saw.... I'm glad that the experienced HR dictated it early.. there were lot of mannerless people in the bank those days especially in First Bank.. Imagine adding this one to their statistics... though I don't know if they were still like that.. . guy... oyel dey ur head.. u said it all 2 Likes |

This is Nigeria sir. Don't be too quick to judge her "Communication etiquettes". You do not know if she has received scam calls in the past. You shouldn't be surprised at her reaction, this is typical. She prolly receives all unfamiliar calls in that manner. Did you inform the applicants that they will be contacted via phone number? Here in Canada, scam calls are common and companies always send emails and set up zoom meetings via emails. If a phone call is necessary, kindly inform the applicant via text message....from ABC company. Let's not be unfortunate please. Peace. Wisemfon: A lady I referred for a bank job in the first week of June got a call this morning to resume work at an Uyo branch of the said commercial bank. She was fortunate to be among the few applicants that were shortlisted from among a large pool of graduates who got interviewed for the jobs. No, but she won't be resuming! She finally lost the opportunity because of a phone call. She had received the call in the early hours of today, 10:00am precise. It was from the HR department of the bank.
But she didn't say "hello".
Her first remark when she picked was "who's this?"
Before she got any other reply she added "how did you get my number?"
The HR person goes "Am I speaking to Miss xxxxxxx?"
She felt the question is unnecessary! And she gave her final response.
"Please if you don't want to introduce yourself get out of my phone" that was her final word!
I got a feedback from the HR by 12noon today and I listened to that conversation. Those kinds of phone calls are always recorded for reference purposes.
Aunty lost the job because she lacks Phone Conversations Etiquette! I listened to the recorded version of that conversation.
She lost the job because she believes every unknown male caller is a "chyker".
You see? After all it's not always because HR people are "despicable" as they have been labeled by Nigerians!

Nicklaus619: Nigeria ladies are so shallow-minded. That was how I was innocently picking and dropping one lady in my department in the office with my car, the very day I bought my car and start driving it to work, we actually stay one estate apart and I thought it wise since she ain't mobile, let me be helping her, of which my fiance knew and was was cool with, fast forward to after 3 months of constant picking her in the morning and dropping her after work at her gate,
Aunty approached me one day and was like Nick what do you really want from me because u can't be doing all of this and not wanting something in return?
I was so pissed and disgusted by her foolish comment, but i did not answer her though, I just smile at her, dropped her at her gate as usual and drove home, immediately I got home, aunty has called me like 4 miss call, I eventually retuned her call and she started apologizing for speaking out of tone, I told her not to worry that everywhere good, but that was the last I drove her in my car, up till date she still apologizing, but I no longer give a fvck, most Nigeria ladies thinks every guy always want to toast them. well I shocked her, because my girlfriend is 100 times more endowed and beautiful than her, what could I be wanting from her biko ![cheesy](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/cheesy.png) Even at that, her question wasn't out of place.

The more i read this the more am beginning to think it is fake. Writeup. If HR manager want you to employ mr abc, even if mr abc messed up on the phone they are still going to employe him then train him on his phone manners.
Another example is if personnel director said recruit Mr Abc, and you as the HR assistant or manager called Mr Abc but because mr Abc was rude on the phone to you you are not going to employ mr abc that your director said you should employ.
Oga abeg Stop giving HR people bad name. It is good Friday, am going to save what i think of you for next time. mr HR, how did you test patient or temperament of each prospective job seeker? |

I can quite relate with this. I advertised for a direct staff here on NL. A number of CV's came through. I ran an assessment and shortlisted about 6 or so. I called one of the prospects and her immediate response was, " How did you get my number". There and then I knew she couldn't be on my team. I told her in plain language how I got her number and why i thought she wouldn't be able to work with me because we are a service delivery company and there is no how she will cut it with customers if that was her best approach to calls from unknown persons. She struggled to apologise but the boat had since sailed. I wish our people will learn courtesy. It costs nothing.
Before she got any other reply she added "how did you get my number?"

They wouldn't need to break into people's homes to know whether a potential employee is rude or not, as an employee of a company you represent the company.

Nigerians are paranoid and on the lookout for scammers, so that question comes easily. I simply tell you where I got your number, some would apologize, some would still not be interested in speaking. I will ask if that is a bad time and I can call later. Whichever way it goes, no stress. Nigerians are hardly ever quick to introduce themselves.
