Dear Seniors,
I am writing with great expectations. I have a small recruitment consultancy and we are operating from Gurgaon. I sent an empanelment invitation to a recruiter who had posted requirement for a consultancy, she contacted and we started working together. I asked about the contract but she kept telling me that she is busy with recruitments and once she is free, will do the formalities. It was my first assignment and she sounded genuine thefore even I did not pressurize. However she sent me an email confirmation but that was from a gmail account. They selected my candidates after taking mnimum 2-3 rounds for each candidate. In her email she had mentioned about 3 months replacement guarantee. In the mean time, some candidates left, one was terminated and still 4 continued. After that also I kept on sending candidates as required by her. Now whenever I asked about the payments, she started telling me about some issues happening in their company. After following up for 6 months I contacted the CEO of the company, he very well knew about my work through that HR. Initially he said that I would be paid but afterwards he started avoiding and for the last time I contacted him, he is only asking me if I have signed the contract and not ready to make the payments.
I understand it was my fault to trust someone like this and not getting the contract signed. I am feeling cheated and would like to ask Seniors over here that based on the email confirmation, offer letter of the candidates, can I take any legal action?
Please do reply.
Thanks & Regards,
Rajni
