Respected Sir/Madam,
I had recently attended an interview ( Nov'16) with a global MNC and got selected .The whole process took nearly a month and I received the offer letter ( in Dec'16). It is important to mention here that the whole recruitment took place through a consultancy which the company had a tie up with. It included scheduling of interview, salary negotiation, release of offer letter. From the date of interview till I received the offer letter, I was keen to join this company and expressed intent to join the company immediately.
Now here comes the hard part...due to my family commitments and personal reasons, I dropped the idea of joining this company at the last minute and communicated the same to the consultant and the company. The consultant became so infuriated and gave me a piece of his mind. He literally abused and harassed me over the phone saying that he will end my career and see to it that no one offers me a job. Besides, he said that he will malign my reputation by writing to HR of other companies where I recently worked. Just because I did not join the company due to certain personal issues, I am facing the brunt and feeling a bit insecure because of him. I did not even sign the offer letter so far.
As a consultant, is he entitled to do that?.Will it impact me? Am I at a serious fault by not joining the company after showing intent and giving up at the last minute due to some genuine personal reasons. Please advice
Best Regards
