Hello friend,
No action can be taken. What we need to do from HR is to have alternate option candidates available so that we can close the position fast. If the candidate has come from a consultant, he may be able to provide alternate candidates for consideration to reduce the time to recruit.

You cannot take any action in this case. Merely signing the appointment letter does not make the candidate an employee of the organization. For any action to be initiated, there must first be an employer-employee relationship. In this situation, since the candidate has only accepted the Appointment Letter and not joined the organization, no action can be initiated against the candidate. At most, you can blacklist that candidate for all future appointments in your company or group companies.

Understanding Offer Letters and Legal Implications
Offer letters are just formal letters indicating that the candidate can join on the specified date. Even if the candidate signs the duplicate copy of the offer letter, you cannot take any legal action because the candidate is not an employee of the organization until he joins.
