Hi,

If we hire a candidate with a 3-month notice period, what practice should we follow? Should we provide them with the details of the CTC breakup? It can be very challenging to retain a candidate with a 3-month notice period. By providing the CTC details in writing, the candidate can easily negotiate it with other companies.

@Anonymous,

Yes, exactly. Now, the candidates are smarter than recruiters.

Hence, it is suggested that instead of sending Appointment letters with CTC details, you may send him/her just a Job offer letter as a confirmation from the company for his selection to the position.

In the job offer letter, you can mention:

"Further to the discussions our management had with you on -- (day, date), our management is pleased to inform you that you have been selected in our organization as --- (mention the name of the position) at our factory/head office/branch office (delete which is not applicable), viz. .. (mention the name of the company), to be based at -- (mention the name of the work location) on the terms and emoluments as discussed between us and accepted by you.

You are hereby requested to join us on or before --- (mention the date of joining)."

Thanks.

This type of fear seems genuine when one knows well that the CTC offered for the position is less than the market rate. Therefore, many organizations do not share their CTC in the offer letter because they apprehend a bargain by the candidate with another employer.

You can do the following: Get the agreed CTC sheet signed as a token of acceptance during the HR round and later issue the offer letter. The copy of the CTC can be shared after joining.

Try to make the workplace pleasant, provide good working conditions, and follow best practices to retain employees. Only a fool would choose hell over heaven.
