hello
let me first state that there is word in english, ethics, whcih is loosing its meaning for which all of us have to blamed, since v hv not been taught properly.
now coming to the subject
- it is not the question of who is right or wrong,
- the consultancy people will register each and every candidate who comes to him or referred to him. so he is doing his bussiness, and as someone has pointed out the payment is to be given after 2-3 months. and there woul be one more clause in the agreement (always agreement is must) suppose the candidate leaves, the replacement would be given free of charge.
- also it the duty of HR to check the candidates background, his history, if possible contact the previous employer or its HR (unofficially) to know more abt the candidate
- infact, within the city HR people know eachother (there is forum, circle) and they will be able to knoe abt the employees
- but now a days the HR is keeping aloof from the employees, that is another reason we are not proper info
-ultimately the candidates has choosen what he wants, let the company look forward for a better candidate, instead of post=martem and learning lesson from such incident
