Hello,
We have selected a candidate and given offer letter to him.
Now the problem is he was selected on 14th of dec 2007 and he said he will join from 1st of Jan 2008, but he didn't join the company by giving that his previous company has audit and he can join only from 15th of Jan 2008.
So we said ok and given the opportunity to join from 15th, but on the day 15 he is says his father had met with an accident and he is unable to join the company and want some extensions. So he said he will join after a week. And now after giving so much extensions for joining, he didn't joined and also didn't call up to tell that he is not able to join. After giving a call to him, he says he is in his home town & was waiting for doctors response where to shift his father for operation either in village or in mumbai.
Now tell me what should i do such a case ?
Should i give him more time or should i tell him not to join???
Please tell me???????????????????

hi,
The same problem is being faced by most of the employees, find out the reason through your source, if it is genuiene one, then no harm in extending the period, otherwise you can tell him that you are revoking the offer letter and also please always ensure to have back up means select 2 candidates for same position but give offer letter to one and tell other that he is on hold.
Here we are playing with any candidates, just ensuring that we have candidate ready to place.
Hope I have given answer to your query.
Thanks

Hi
From the facts you have given I infer that the candidate is not going to join you.
First he says, there is company audit and he would join aftewr 15 days. Then he says his father is not well.
Then he says he is waiting for the decion about his fathers admission in the hospital.
With my experience, I will conclude that he is not disclosing facts to you.
There is no need to issue a revocation letter.
In case if he comes after 30 days, then you have two options.
1. Take him with a caution if the vacancy still exist
2. Tell him that the order was specific about the date of joining and since he has not reported on the specified date, the order stands revoked, if the vacancy has been filled already.
I used to follow this method and it works.

Hi
From what you've stated I would be very cautious about hiring this individual. He may be technically sound, but on the behavioural side, there is cause for concern. You company will be defined ultimately by the behaviour of all your employees. If this is the kind of behaviours he is displaying even before joining, I think it is a clear indication of what you can expect if he does come on board. I am not convinced that he could not find the time or have the courtesy to call in and let you know that something was going on with him. This alone tells me that he is being dishonest and that is not a trait you want to hire into your organization.
I think he is possibly weighing his career options with other organizations and is keeping you on hold just in case his other option does not work out. My advice? Rescind the offer and seek a candidate who may not be 100% technically sound, but has a great attitude and good manners.

Hi,
In Appopintment letter the clause is mentioned that if person does not join at the given date the appopintment will be automatically terminated , then you can revoke the offer unless and until you need that person very badly. In your case if that person is delaying in joining by giving different reasons you should not wait for him. I am sure you cant keep the vacancy open for a long period of time. You need to take a stand very fast.
