When hiring a new provider, I understand that you don’t want blocked calls. At the same time, it’s difficult to schedule a screening call with you and remain discreet unless I disclose what I’m looking for first. And the only way to do that is with a text, or email, so now there’s a written audit trail, which I try to avoid.
I would like to be upfront and detailed with you about what I’m looking for so we’re not wasting each other’s time. I usually can only be this open once we’re face to face, and if we aren’t on the same page, one of us has to just settle then at that point.
How do we both accomplish initial contact while we both protect each other’s privacy, and vet each other so we know upfront if we’re on the same page? ?
