"We will get back to you"

 


"We will get back to you" the typical answer that almost 95% HR Managers/Interviewer give every candidate after finishing the interview. 

So whats the story behind this? am i reject? on hold? not suitable? they need time to think or its just the interviewer was not sure on his decision..

How i hire?

When i am interviewing a candidate, i know the its not only the candidate who is selling himself to me but its also the other way round. 

We always blame the candidates for not joining the company even after accepting the offer.

It's a very controversial subject. lets see what both the parties think.

What Employers think: 
1. We have given the best offer.
2. As we have invested good time and money in the hiring process, Candidates should not back out after accepting the offer.
3. We have the best working culture.
4. There are plenty of candidates in the market.

etc.. etc...

I know i know its not the story with every company but yes its with most of companies struggling to hire new talent and retain them.

What candidates think:
1. Offer below expectation
2. The company did not disclose enough information about the work and rest policies.
3. Am i going to have a secured career with them?
5. What offer others are getting?

 Its always disheartening for the recruiters when a candidate backs out. I may not be fully right but i indeed feel that there are measures to be taken and things will improve if both the parties play fare games.

1. Disclose all the information related to the position.
2. Disclose company policies in advance.
3. Disclose the interview result in the shortest possible time.
4. Try to justify the offer.
5. Never under offer.
6. The candidates have right to know about their future with the company.

Doing above things will help companies earn good respect in the eyes of candidates and hence will improve the joining ratio.

1. Candidates should disclose every information related to their candidature.
2. Should take minimum time to revert on the offer.
3. Should not hide if they already hold other offers.
4. Should attend the interview on time if committed.
6. Never Lie about their candidature.
