We also have the same experience with our client "Havmore Insurance Brokers" in Mumbai. We have placed the candidate Prashant Tambe with them with a lot of efforts in a senior position in corporate strategy. They have conducted the interview, provided an offer letter to the candidate. When we asked them for his payment details the next day, they forwarded an email from the candidate indicating that he was not interested in the job. (Please note that the candidate did not inform us but informed the company HR via email). We also assumed that he was not interested as the candidate was not answering calls. After some time, we checked social websites like LinkedIn and other job sites, and found that he had updated his profile with the same month and year for which he had accepted the offer letter from the company.
We tried to contact the HR - Ms. Pradnya from Havmore. She provided different answers initially and later mentioned that the candidate was informed by Mr. Manek (working in a senior position with them) through his references. After several follow-ups, she denied that the candidate was introduced by us at any point. We attempted to speak with the senior MD - Mr. Hamang, who took a long time to respond. After numerous emails and calls, he finally stated that his department did nothing wrong, as the candidate had joined three months after receiving the offer letter, therefore not considering our introduction. The company seems to engage in malpractices not only in HR but also in other areas. Consultants should be cautious when dealing with this company. I had provided excellent candidates to them, but now I suspect there may be many more candidates I placed with them without being informed. They lack a proper HR setup but engage in this kind of deceit with consultants who invest significant effort in providing good candidates.

Hello All,
This is a very serious concern for consultants like us. We have come across a couple of unprofessional employers who refuse to pay on time or even bother to pay, for that matter. What they don't understand is the time and effort of recruiters and the support that we provided, most importantly, "when they really wanted the support."
A public forum is a great thought, and I can work on that as well, at least in the region where we provide our services.
My question is, are there any legal constraints on publicly naming or mentioning these companies? Getting into trouble for this is the last thing that I want at the moment :)

If your facts are true, then you can easily defend your position. Clearly bring out how the company is avoiding making due payments as agreed upon during the consultancy process. Lack of ethics needs to be highlighted in legal and correct terms. The company may threaten legal actions and other types of pressure by approaching other competitors in the same line, etc. Be ready to defend your position, but you should not hesitate to name companies after all efforts to sort out the matter are done. Ensure that your side is clear, and there are no skeletons in your cupboard."
