But as usual nothing will be done.

E pain am. I blame ur bastard useless father and that dirty prostitute u call ur mother for bringing a useless thing like you into this world. U,ur stupid family and generation is cursed.Rot in hell fool

[/s] Tell that to your love-peddling mother who loves to give mouth action.

Iconstar:
Walahi that jashub na idiot.Very stupid fellow with no sense of reasoning.

It is your father that is a fool. Yoruba idiot with no bearing.

UrVillagePpl:
It isn't just his OWN response. But it is the sane way to respond to strangers. Get it

I do not agree sire.

Sylverly:
Narrow minded you said. I feel you are the one that had failed to come in terms with the dynamic nature of hiring in our present dispensation. Haven't you heard of an employer that purposely sent Airtime to an unsuspecting job seeker, asking her to kindly return such Airtime as it was a mistake, while it was simply a test.

Maybe I should tell you how a HR at Mobil oil HQ called over the phone, with so much questions about my available credentials (without any email notification)..

Get adapt or stay behind.

[/s] What you said has nothing to do with the dynamic nature of recruitment.

These companies are shortchanging folks out there because they know people are in desperate need of jobs hence, they can dishout any rubbish and call it a recruitment process. But no wahala sha... if you are comfortable with being shortagechanged , I wish you all the best .

Make I book my seat make I laugh small

Stop disgracing yourself on this forum. Can't you see how folks are disappointed at you?
The fact that you keep defending the lady and keep saying her character is not necessary in this case is very stupid . Character and attitude is necessary in every aspect of life.
I have to use that word because you have been on this thread since morning exhibiting stupidity.
You're in no position to tell a company what information outlet they should make use of when contacting people. And to think that the girl even gave out her contact to be reached out to and you're here defending stupidity is outrageous.
You need help.
And I'm sure you don't have a job.
When you finally get one and they contact you through whatsapp, tell them that they're very unprofessional and let's see how far you'll go.
You're not even ashamed.

[/s] Not one ounce of sense is seen from this your poorly written comment.

But I will blame that on your lack of exposure. Since it is obvious that shithole Nigeria is setting stupidity and incompetence as a standard in a company's recruitment process.

kingxsamz:
How can a manner less person communicate with a customer online? Do you even use your head at all?
Or isn't good communication skills required between the service provider and the customer?

Bros, stop embarrassing yourself like this. The lady in question was not applying for a position in HR department(which requires good communication skills) ; she was applying as an intern in Web-design /Graphics firm. Does that sort of Job require a WhatsApp chat from from company's HR agent?

Henryfortune:
and you think they did not?
what is the essence of your numbers and email on your resume if not to reach you on them if need be..I had applied somewhere for a job some years back when i was seeking and had written down some numbers as my guarantor ... on this said day luckily I a may say I was with one of my guarantor and the company's HR called to enquire about me from him ...right there in my presence i lost that because I could not manage with the salary then cause of distance

That is "Nigerian" way of doing things and this is wrong. People should be given prior notification before such is taken. That's all.

Blueelf:
Baba, tbh, I'm surprised you're talking like this... I'm really surprised at you Sir.

A rude sales person would perform so poorly, he/she would be fired almost immediately. Same goes for a customer service rep. What about a travel agent or even an HR personnel? Which customer wants to associate with a rude company rep?

I'm beginning to think you're purposely been controversial Sir.

I'm grateful the company dodged a bullet. She would've ruined their brand

I am not being controversial; I am merely pointing out certain facts that a lot of people here do not want to acknowlegde. The girl has her faults, yes. But the HR agent has his faults too.

dazzlingd:
You see how stupid u are....someone into graphics and web design.....don't you know this kind of job requires so much online presence and communication...these are the kind of jobs u complete relating with the clients 100% online without physical presence.
Jobs samples and follow ups are done on whatzap...you see are the dumbest person ever .
I am surprised so many mental patients have invaded this forum, una don plenty now....I knew there was a jail break during endsars, maybe there was a psychiatric institution break too...
Your point is dead on arrival

You are super dumb.

So graphics design needs interpersonal relationship skills abi...a "skill" that the foolish HR agent could not interview her on a face-face interview, but had the effontery to do it on WhatsApp with a strange number saying "Hi... ".

Olodo in the building

sweetgala:
It is indeed a test of character, she failed it flawlessly.
I like how the man ended the conversation, even if she claimed she was upset about something else in her personal space at the time she shouldn't have responded to a simple message in such a manner.

I recently reminded my wife to state her name and the purpose of her call at the begining of every phone call because it's part of courtesy and helps to establish the purpose of the call.

A test of character on a web-design/graphics design job? Bros easy o...I nor fit laugh

PrinceMajestic:
I am angry with members that failed to tell you how stupid you're and the fool of this thread. I present you your award on behalf of nairaland members

[/s] It takes one to know one.

dazzlingd:
How old are u? either u are below 12 being way too immature and haven't seen life or above 75 and have gone archaic.
No offense but you don't appear intellectually sound...and most annoying you think u are smart

Whatzap that people are using for businesses and closing deals is your problem abi..
Do u know the skills they required for the job, maybe interpersonal relationship is a prerequisite??
You are just dumb and should shut up in Shame already

Your foolishness should have its own private ranking on this forum.

Did you even bother reading the job description from the conversation? I seriously doubt it. For if you had, you would not be making of mention interpersonal relationship as a criteria for a web-design/graphics design job.

dazzlingd:
You are very stupid....it is obvious
Better go and get a job even if it is cyber cafe job because it is obvious u don't know what the business world is all about

[/s] Drop dead shitholian...

dazzlingd:
Obviously u don't have a job and you don't have a business u run.....you don't even sense making it worse

I am a testimony of closing deals on whatzap, I havebuzzed on whatzap and deal was closed without even speaking but all through chats...

In 9ja... the shithole you keep using as standard.

LordOfTheGame:
My friend stop supporting idiocy. Nobody invaded her stupid and poverty ravaged privacy. The moment she made her phone number public in application for a job, the employer is free to use the number in any platform at his disposal, which WhatsApp is a platform like that. Why didnt she give them her email if her number is her privacy? I can bet you, if the employer had called her in a direct call, that's how the bitch would've still responded or even worse. A mannerless girl is a mannerless girl, nothing can change her except situations like this. What happens to answering the greeting and politely ask "May I know you, please" or "Please I don't think i know or have met you before, could you please explain yourself ".... statements like this are super matured and polite. Even if the caller or the writer is a toaster, these lines of statements can knock him off balance for a moment and reset his views about the girl.
Anyways, Some nigerian and African girls are the worst set of women a man should talk to.

Your post reeks of extreme foolishness and lack of consideration.
But let me ask you this :

1.What would it have cost the company to give the lady prior notice before reaching out to her ?

2. Should interviews be conducted on WhatsApp through strange numbers?

3. The HR agent did not even package his text well: he was breaking sentences like a would-be suitor. Who the hell does that?!

EgunMogaji2:
What will the lawsuit be for?

In the USA I've contacted people specifically for job openings and interviews using WhatsApp. Have you?

Did you not give them prior notice? Did you start the way this joker started out? Answer me

EgunMogaji2:
What will the lawsuit be for?

In the USA I've contacted people specifically for job openings and interviews using WhatsApp. Have you?

Via chatting abi? Mtchww

lomprico:
and what notice did you think the recruiter was trying to give?

Buzzing people on WhatsApp with strange numbers without prior notification is not a way to go about a recruitment excercise!

pcguru1:
Mary has a fault too in this. Today she has learnt the situation Reverse Halo Effect, she will do well to be courteous in the future.

What relationship does courtesy have with incompetence?

lomprico:
with all your standards will u hire an employee like her?

yes or no!

I would if I gave a prior notice.

Oktane:
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the way the interview was conducted. His Salutations should have calmed her down; 'Hello Mary'.

He greeted her with her first name. What more was she expecting? The least she could have done is to be a little patient.

But no need to argue about this. The message has been passed. Even Mary would have learnt her lessons judging from the way she begged later on as if her life was dependent on that job.

Important question for you Sir;
With benefit of hindsight, do you think she will repeat this behaviour consciously in a subsequent experience?

That is the best answer to the question regarding if she was wrong or not.

I rest my case.

Life did not begin and end with this company, so Mary will get another job (most certainly).

But the company should upgrade their HR if they want to stay in business.

Peace.

IMASTEX:
That is not correct, in running personality test, several methods are used. Including deliberately delaying or ignoring applicants at interview venues to watch their behaviours over the cam. She is simply mannerless and unfit for a job that will expose her to meet other persons. Imagin it was a prospect client?

A personality test that is given through Whatsapp chat For a web design/graphic-design job...? Baba, give me break. Bikonu

Oktane:
I have read all your responses to this post.
You are obviously not very familiar with contemporary HR processes especially as it regards recruiting a fresh member into your organisation.

There is no standard for a first time discourse with a potential employee. This was a very befitting approach as it took the lady unawares and exposed her underbelly. She is rude, uncouth arrogant and has a very limited scope.

Perhaps this will be a good lesson to everyone; Never ever be in a hurry to ask the person on the line who he/she is. In the course of the conversation this will be naturally revealed.

I have had the privilege of being on a Phone Interview panel trying to recruit fresh graduates during the pandemic. My experiences in this case will fill a book. Most candidates only become courteous (albeit pretentiously) when they suspect we are calling in respect of their career future.

Many Nigerians have no sense of courtesy. Be calm in responding to calls. If the person has your number and make the effort to call then he will make his intention known at some point of the conversation.

There is nothing befitting about the incompetent nature of what this company is doing. But I am sure this is how typical Nigerian companies handle their recruitment process...right? Smh

It looks like a squirrel

ehissi:
The real greatest breach here is even posting private interviews on social media..........without consent of the interviewee.

If she could afford to retain legal counsel, sue the idiot and the firm that contacted her in such an awkward manner and had the guts to post it on social media....

Nonsense clout chasers.

Thank you for pointing that out. A lot of dumb folks here are posting comments based on emotion but failing to see the other side of things.

Mikolo1716:
I totally disagree with you, there's never an procedures laid down for companies in choosing their mode of interview. Some can go through lot's of means, whether via phone calls, chats et,c unnotified just to test your customer's relationship, level of tolerance and so much more. Even some companies can go as far as checking up your past post on your social media handles, just to name a few. Only unfortunate majority of us no longer use our official names on social media most especially the ladies.

[/s] From your post I can tell you have never heard or read about HR before.

Pweetymaro97:
Keep on deceiving your self...

Another country indeed, I've applied for jobs and was communicated by call, whatsapp and email.... without being told the mode of communication a forehand....

Get small sense and hide shame jor

You applied in the shithole(Nigeria), right? Answer me shitholian

BeigJawnson:
so if customers come to tha company, so before they say they are customers this same rude girl with smelly pussy will still insults them abi?

this your comment is out of point... no company will ever tell you how their interview will come or look like...

a girl also loosed her fiance just becos she spoke rudely to a woman in a bus who she later discovered that tha same woman she spoke rudely to in tha bus, was her mother-inlaw to be... will you allow such lady to marry your brother if she were to be your brother's fianceé?

Stop generalzing. Just say it is out of point with your own line of reasoning. Simple

willyjacs:
no organization will tell you "we will whatsapp u"
When you are submitting ur email and number,u should be expecting response via any means.

My own interview was via whatsapp and it was sweet because It gave me the time to put down good responses without the pressure of eyes staring at u... In this digital age,expect anything...communications are shifting online.

She's a rude person,that's the fact.

Someone greeted respectfully, greet them back nicely before asking who they are in a sane manner too.
It's when the person starts crossing the line before you strike at them.

That is why I always tell people "learn how not to transfer aggression"
Maybe something dey vex her before she come online,she come use the guy as anger absorber.

Oga, stop using the general shithole-nigerian standards to acknowledge the rubbish done by this company.

What happened to their HR?

The company is lucky this is rubbish happened in Nigeria.Had it been it were another country na lawsuits go follow their papa.

oranget:
Her response is natural?
The insult is also natural abi
Just call a spade a spade

The universe does not begin and end with your own definition of right and wrong.

The way people behave under different conditions differs and you must learn to accept those differences.
