Hi Seniors,
Our company interviewed and selected a candidate on 16th Nov 2012 as Software engineer, who was supposed to join us on 19th of Nov 2012.This candidate was previously
working with another company. On 19th itself the candidate came and requested to provide him the appointment letter so that he can show it to his previous company and
get the relieving letter from them. Also he wants to take this Appointment letter to his family temple for Pooja and also said that he will officially join by 21st Nov 2012.
I spoke this to my manager and he approved it and we gave the Appointment letter to this candidate. The candidate immediately left the office after getting the appointment Letter. .
I tried contacting him on 21st when he dint come and got the reply that his family temple Swamy said that wed(that is 21st) is not an auspicious day so will join on 22nd.
Again on 22nd i called so he gave the response as his grandmother is not keeping well so he is going to his home town.
Till Date he has not joined with us and today again i called him for final confirmation, so he said that he need 2 more days and he will join by next week.
I informed this to my manager and he told me to inform the candidate that his job offer is cancelled and we are appointing new person in his place.
Should i simply inform the candidate about cancelling his offer(as my manager said) or do I need to legally inform him about the same.
My query is what exactly is the actual procedure or measures to be taken in such a situation??
Please advice.
