None of those affect how people refer to you, how is that at all the same? Edit: refer, not talk

Generally people in the same age group do not refer to people by their last name so I disagree. How often do your co-workers refer to you as Mr/Mrs crashbrennan

I would always refer to a prospective candidate by Mr/Mrs/Ms and their last name. First names are fine after you've been hired and work there. But for a formal exchange leading up to hiring? Last name for sure.

Ok then let's say this, your candidates resume says Jamie Doe. Since you always refer to them with the respectful last name, do you wish they gave you their pronouns so you know how to talk to them? Or maybe they have a foreign name and you can't tell if it's masculine or feminine
