Not if you're a valuable candidate. An example (I have intimate experience with) is the finance/hft space in NYC -- if you're employed at a competitive player in this space in trading/quant/engineering you will almost certainly be given a phone interview w/o question at every other competitor when you reach out. If you don't trust the 'contact us' forms on their website it's dead simple to search e.g. LinkedIn to find their own in-house recruiters and reach out directly. Again, if you're a new grad? Definitely higher chance of your contact going right into the trash. But the target hires are still getting called back within a day. | ||||||||||||||||||||
