Nowadays candidates are shopping on offer letters i.e. they crack one interview, accept the offer letter on mail and during the notice period, they keep on hunting for other jobs. By the time they get higher offer, they decline the initial company to join. This is a common scenario especially in IT industry and may be with other industries also.
a) As HR how should we stop or control this situation since it wastes the time of the recruiter and domain interviewers too though we are continuously maintaining the touch with the candidate via various steps
b) Can we somehow avoid mentioning the salary part in the offer letter since that is the primary base of negotiation with new companies?
Need some advise if possible in the form of action items to address this issue. Since this is a generic and grave matter for the recruitment industry a deep brainstorming will help everyone on the thread.

By implementing these strategies, HR professionals can mitigate the risk of offer letter shopping and improve retention rates by fostering stronger candidate relationships and aligning expectations early in the recruitment process.
