Dear Friends
As a recruitment consultant I have often faced some serious issues from some HR professionals and I feel concerned about the deteriorating ethical standards in the HR community.
These are as follows:
1. An URGENT position needing to be closed ASAP is put on "HOLD" soon after we have sent some very good and relevant profiles.( May be they have found what they were looking for, go ahead and search for that person's profile on their own)
2. They stop giving feedbacks to the profiles sent after you have sent a sizable no of relevant profiles to another "URGENT" position. A week later they declare it closed, no explanation given!
3. The most relevant profile will always be "duplicate", even though no one has contacted the candidate for the position.There are a lot of other issues (asking for commission, Using consultants for creating database of candidates, delayed payments, Non payments etc) where we have strong feelings of foul play and unfair/unethical practices, taking the poor consultant for a ride on various pretexts and sometimes openly.
The consultant bears the brunt as he does not wish to lose a client and seen as being suspicious. Moreover, the consultants competing each other have no way out but to give in to the whims and fancies of the clients & the HR professionals.
In our case we dropped such clients immediately!
I would request everybody's inputs & experiences in this regard.
My question is why can't we Indians practice what we preach? And that why don't we have any problems following unethical practices towards a service provider we feel is subservient to us?
Can anything be done to improve the life of the poor recruitment consultant? Is there a way out for them?
Your truly
