Hi Senthil,
I think your HR has some ego problem. This is not the first time this issue has come up; many like you face this problem from their superiors. But you should not respond to that. Do what your mind says is right. You seem to be a very kind person, and it reflects in your demeanor. Don't let the world change your attitude; let the world adopt your attitude. That's what I have learned from my HR superior. When you climb up the ladder, you should be more humble, polite, and concerned. However, it is not the same with everyone; some lose their minds when they succeed.
Always keep in mind that the third-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the majority. The second-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the minority. The first-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking, and you have the first-rate thinking, so keep it going.
Thanks,

Hello Senthil,
Our seniors have given useful inputs. I also agree that the behavior with the candidates should be professional, not too friendly. Reducing their stress or making them feel comfortable is a good motive, but only to a certain extent.
With regard to your boss's behavior, I suggest handling it diligently. Don't go directly against her as she is your boss. You may politely inform her that, in view of the company's image, you feel it is worthwhile to write regret emails rather than asking Security to send the candidates back. Be assertive and not aggressive in your actions towards her. Keep up the good work!
All the best.

People have their own mindset and thoughts or behaviors, but you need to respect other employees and people coming for interviews. All functions should be carried out with professionalism. Being too friendly with candidates is also not a good thing.

The discussion has been very helpful. I have been in sales for 14 years and now in HR. In sales, we always treat people with great respect and dignity, even if they are junior staff or our current prospective customers. The practice followed by Mr. Senthil is right, and maybe his boss needs some training in interpersonal skills. The size of the organization is big, and it should be concerned about its image and the messages its management team is sending.
