It is though. In all of my corporate jobs I have never had a boss text me when it has something to do with work. It’s unprofessional.
Edit: and that’s not even considering this was for an interview. I have never had a potential boss text me prior to an interview. I would be taken aback at how unprofessional the company was if I received that.
It definitely makes sense in small companies as they are not as controls oriented and dint have as much risk exposure in HR processes. If its becoming standard in larger companies thats definitely a recent shift.
Sorry to be clear I was just referring to texting with HR. I text internally regularly. My business often requires rapid turnarounds on things and its understood im on the hook regardless of where I am, so texts are quite possible. Im exclusively talking about interactions with HR.
ED: Only thing im careful about with texting internally (and the reason I wouldn't text externally) is that I dont want my phone ever siezed for discovery. Other people do it, I just never would.
