Recruiters and HRs are putting all their effort and spending all their time in finding a good resource for the opportunity available in the organization. After tirelessly spending all their days in finding someone who seems to be a perfect fit for the role, they select a candidate, after clearing several rounds of interviews, he/she accept offer letter and not joining last minute. All of a sudden, on the date of joining, they disappear. Not answering the call from the organization, also giving a lot of grief and pressure to the recruiters, expenses to hire are skyrocketing. How to put an end to this irrational behavior?

The employer spent an insane amount of time and energy to find relevant talent, they try to provide a great candidate’s experience and always put the effort into improving it, all to be left dejected and having to start all over again. In the case of finding the right candidate for a junior role may take a week, but for a senior position, it may go up to months of searching. According to the studies, almost 54% of the candidates back out after accepting the offer letter. In most countries, candidates have to pay a penalty if they back out in the final moment without any notice. But in India, there is no clause to pay a penalty for the candidates who step back at the last minute.

What employers can do?

Some companies like HCL have introduced gamification to make the candidates engaged. Gamification is actually introducing games in the work environment to enhance employee engagement and productivity. If a candidate does not participate or interact with colleagues there is a chance that he may drop out. The organization reaches out and engages him.

TRST Score platform helps employers to overcome the stress develops due to employee behavior. It offers a platform to rate and review the candidate’s behavior and trustworthiness. It allows employers to send offer letters through the platform so that other employers in the platform are able to see that the particular candidate has accepted your offer. If the candidate steps back at the last minute for any reason it will be a black mark in the candidate’s employment history. The employer can provide a low star rating if the employee misbehaves or candidates behave unethically. The platform acts as a deterrent for the employees and candidates as it affects the employment data. To an extend it reduces the loss that may occur due to employees accept multiple offer letters and inform you at the last minute.

Present IT industries are so dynamic and challenging for recruiters and HRs to find the right workforce even if they have done their best. Most importantly, once you send the offer letter, keep the engagement active with the candidate to address any kind of issues. If any kind of disinterest is evident from the candidate respond to that immediately. Investing in the TRST Score platform will be a preventive measure that the employees and candidates will be more concerned to behave ethically there by the employers can eliminate unwanted stress and expenses.
