I got a call from the recruiter without a notice, at 6:30 in the morning (since I live in Arizona), I did not answer thinking it was some spam call and there was a voicemail with name and number. Well at least he emailed me with his details after I did not answer. I responded to email and also called back to the number the same day with no response.
Emailed the recruiter again for the second time with no response.
I do not know if I would have gotten the job or not but it left me wondering how things would have been if I had answered the call.
This is no lottery, you reject a person after talking to them not because they did not answer a phone call
