Recruiters, agencies and even active hiring companies are constantly blending old-school techniques with modern tools. One of the most popular buzzwords on resumes these days is "outbound calls."

Outbound calls are those made by salespeople or other representatives who are actively trying to sell their company's product or services. These types of dealers often call businesses in an attempt to persuade them into doing business with them or calling back so that they can conduct a more in-depth phone screen before setting up an interview.
