I don't think this is that bad.
A bit unorthodox, and old school, but unorthodox interviews aren't bad and neither are phone interviews.
The problem is that he didn't provide a number for people to add to their safe-callers list, so that they know it isn't spam when he calls.
Also, depending on the position, he needs to make sure that the call is not going to be in the middle of important meetings. He presumably doesn't want to hire people who take calls in the middle of client negotiations
I downvoted you because I think it is "that bad" but then you made some good points at the end so I removed my downvote.
That's fair lol
haha thanks for the reasonable reply! no snark? no rage? no name calling? shit, i didn't think that existed on the internet anymore. you got that upvote for being this cool about it 😄
