Top 10 job boards

When should you anticipate a job offer call?

Any time of day might be suitable for them to contact out about a job offer, as long as the hiring manager allocates adequate time to react to any inquiries regarding the job offer during the call. Here are some of the most usual time periods for receiving a call regarding a job offer:


Mid-morning


A recruiting manager may contact you in the middle of the day after completing their first obligations for the day, such as responding to urgent emails and maintaining job advertisements. A call from a 9 to 5 workplace may come around 10 or 11 a.m. Hiring managers will expect you to be up and ready to discuss the job by this time.


Afternoon


Some recruiting managers make job offer calls around lunch hours, around 12 p.m. or 1 p.m., particularly if they are calling candidates who already have a job and may be unable to answer the phone in the morning or later afternoon. If you accept the position on the spot, the recruiting manager will have time to produce your formal written employment offer the same day.


Workday comes to an end


As a means to end the workday on a good note, many hiring managers contact job candidates at the end of the day to make an informal employment offer over the phone. Calls around 4 p.m. at the end of the workday give you plenty of time to ponder the offer and enable the recruiting manager to update hiring materials first thing the following day.


Evening


It's very unusual for recruiting managers to make job offers late at night, particularly to applicants who already have a full-time work. Professional hiring managers will call between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. to allow you enough time to come home from work while avoiding phoning too late.
