Hi All,
The reasons behind candidates rejecting offers have been rightly put across by all the fellow members. I would like to share some practices that my organization ( a manufacturing company) has taken in order to reduce the instances of offer rejection.
1. We have reduced the lead time of making an offer to 1.5 days.
2. The compensation executive will have a thorough discussion with the candidate before sending him an offer.
3. We send the company newsletter and other communication pamhlets to the candidates along with the offer letter so that the interest in the organization is sustained.
4. We have realized that recruitment consultants play an important role so we have included them in the whole process. We had recently felicitated our top 5 recruitment consultants and also shared with them the best practices in HR followed in our organization. We also regularly send them communication pamphlets so that they in turn can pass it on to our prospective employees. We have also prepared a ppt of the practices followed and send it to the candidates to whom we have made an offer.
5. We have are in the process of preparing a standardize interview call letter which will circulate to all our consultants. The call letter will inform the prospective candidates facts about the organization that is not mentioned in the website.
Thanks,

Hi,
IT people play with offers because, the know they have many oppurtunities in the market. According to me what we all can do to stop it is if any candidate says he already has an offer, we should not entertain them. Increment for every candidate should be 30 % on there Current CTC not more than that. Actually when we interview them we can find out that they are not worth that much but, for our performance we have started paying them good salaries to join our organization and that's the biggest mistakes we have made. But, i think its not to late now, we can start this procedure once again. Then they don't have any options and market will come to normal again and they won't play with offers.
Correct me if i am wrong...

Dear Mirza,
See this site is meant for sharing the knowledge not arguing. I would like to put an end to this argument, because i don't want want to waste my time and other's time in unnecessary arguments. I hope You understand it, Any how in order to be very very clear I am placing before you the following facts.
O.K whatever you have said, i.e ascertain every thing about the company before joining if every thing is o.k. and then join other wise don't join. This is o.k. but friend pl. understand very clearly, in some companies(not all), that not every thing about the company is known before joining howeever much is enquired or background check is made. u have to exprience first hand to know about the fate of the company and your position. As some gentleman in this site has rightly said some times People won't leave the organisation but they leave their managers (or reporting managers or bosses). Some of the facts like attitudes of the managers, or some of the policies of the company, the responsibility / or roles given to the new candidate or even in some instances the nature of job it self is totally different from what has been indicated during the interview / issue of offer letter... and there are multitudes of such factors one may encounter in the new rganisation where he is employed......... Hence one may tend to resign or reject the offer.
and moreover i have expressed my views based upon my exprience and (in fact my self and one of my friend who had a excellent tract record in the previos comp are the victims of such kind) also general trend thats happening which i have came to know from some reliable sources.
If you don't agree to me, well... pl .don't react and let us concentrate on sharing the knowledge thru this excellent site some thing which is very useful to all
Thanks and regards
