As far as i know it means...........
“The no-show’ behaviour, that is, candidates not showing up at a new job after accepting the offer."
In campus interviews it means that cancellation of interview...
Hope it will help u...
Thanks

Hi:

As per my understanding,

Absence/fail to appear for their scheduled interview - considered/results in "no show".

A fine example -US consulate consider the applicants who have failed to appear for their scheduled interview appointment at the U.S. Embassy as 'NO SHOW' applicants.

Thanks,

Dear all,
In dictionary, it defines:
n.
One that is expected but does not appear, especially:
  1. A person who reserves a place, as on an airplane, but neither uses nor cancels the reservation.
  2. A person who buys a ticket for an event but does not attend.
  3. A person who unexplainedly fails to keep an appointment.
adj.
Requiring little or no actual attendance or work: a no-show political patronage job.

Hi Arooj,

If your question is with respect to "Recruitment" alone, I think Vijeta has explained it accurately. NO SHOWS happens especially in BPO's/KPO's where mass recruitments happen, and daily interviews are scheduled.

Selected candidates, accept the offer, the companies hiring them spend excessively in getting their Reference check done through professional agencies. They confirm till the last moment that they would join the company, & at last moment don't turn up because they negotiate with some other competitor company & manage to get a better offer in terms of salary.

Hence if you are in an organisation where mass recruitment is done, always release 25 offers in case you need to start a batch of 20 Numbers. This way you will always meet the targetted numbers :icon1:.

when a no. of variables / factors / elements come together for a particular/ pre-arranged / pre-defined purpose and play their own role - a job / happening / activity... is done. its a complete process. when other factors are present / playing their own role, but one is absent ... its a " no show " for that particular factor / element.
exg. car hired, car reported for duty...the proposed user didnt turn up.... its a no show as the actual duty didnt happen.
interview arranged... (candidate was informed and he/she gave his/her consent to be present) ....interviewer present... candidate didnt turn up (without any intimation)... its a '' no show "
similarly for recruitment ...all process completed ...short listing/ campasing/ interview/ offer letter...candidate simply didnt turn up...didnt response to the tel call .... its a no show ..

As per recruitment terminology "persons not turning up for the sheduled interviews"
generally the hiring managers in the corporate give the feed back to the consultants when they ask for the result or status asked by the consultants ragarding their candidates

Dear All,
In terms of hotel industry if a guest makes a reservation for a certain date and fails to turn up (and forwards no information). This is then called a NO SHOW guest.
Similar to this if a candidate informs to come for an interview and fails to turn up then he is called a noshhow candidate.
Thanks
Richard
