Is it normal for HR to call 8 times for an offer?

[Anonymous]

This morning, I saw 8 missed calls on my phone. I had a recent interview, so it might have been HR. I called back, but it was after working hours and the line was either unavailable or not accepting external calls. Do you think HR would call 8 times without sending an email?

[AI Opinion]

While it's not typical for HR to call repeatedly without leaving a message or sending an email, it can happen if the matter is urgent or they need immediate confirmation. Generally, professional communication involves leaving a voicemail or follow-up email. Consider checking any emails or voicemail messages for further information. If you reach out first thing the next business day, they should provide clarification.

Somehow I cannot see them wasting their time making eight attempts in contacting you... In any case were all the calls from the same number?

[Asker]

yes same number, with about 5–6 minutes between each call.

[EmmaMary]

No... Definitely wouldn't be any HR Department wasting that amount of time... Have you not tried ringing the number back?

[Asker]

yeah i called back. It says the person u are trying to call is unavailable. Then, i sent a voice mesaage. Sometimes, you cannot call back company numbers but i dont know. but, calling 8 times is too much i agree.

As a last resort you could try making contact with the company direct, and then asking for the HR Department.

yes thank you.
