Do not infer much from call length alone. Recruiter screens vary, and logistics-heavy calls can simply mean the recruiter already has enough background information from your application.

The useful signal is whether the recruiter covered the required topics and gave a clear next step, not whether the call used every scheduled minute.

Answer logistics directly and professionally, then use any remaining opening to reinforce one or two reasons you fit the role.

Afterward, judge the call by stated next steps. Avoid treating a short call as either a rejection or a positive signal.

imo the biggest risk is spending too long trying to make the answer perfect. A clear first pass is usually better.

I think context matters a lot here. The same move can be fine in one case and clunky in another, so I would focus on the reason behind it.
