Just the way Michael Lopp describes it in his book Being Geek — The Software Developer’s Career Handbook in the section on Wanderlust, I have carried around that idea with me for quite a while, that I would like to be able to see on my phones, from which company somebody is calling, in case I don’t have a specific entry for him/her in my address book.
Today I got up and I knew, the feature is actually already implemented. I do maintain a list of country calling codes, which my call monitor actually reads, when it starts up. Today I just understood, that a company’s core phone number is just a little longer than a country calling code, but actually my software doesn’t mind that. So I started adding company core phone numbers to that list.
And from now on, that should only be rare occasions, where I don’t know, from which recruiting company and which location, the recruiter is calling from. I love it.
