I am assuring you that the moment u will ask him to give something in writing, he will stop to harrash you or other wise if he will continue then publish that Recruiter name on Citehr.com

Today, no consultant can ask any money / charge any amount to candidte.

Dear Faiz,
If you have not signed any legal contract with the consultant, no need to worry. Consultant will never demand any payment in writing. At the same time, it is not a good practice to accept offer letter and then refuse to join. Because of this reason, Many company stopped giving offer letter with mention of salary as the same has been found to be misused for getting a higher pay in the existing company or used as a tool for negotition with other company.

Dear Faiz and all users

I think we are missing one very important point of contract law. If you read carefully, Faiz has accepted the offer, If he does not fulfill his part of the contract he stands to commit an "anticipatory breach. It is up to the company to either lodge a claim for the breach or wait until the joining date to make sure that Faiz has actually committed a breach of contract. The company has a right to claim reasonable damages from Faiz.

It is not known whether the offer letter contains any clause claim of damages such as 15% of CTC. If it does then Faiz has no choice.

However, it is usual when a new employee is engaged, he is given a probation period when the services can be terminated by either side without giving any notice. In the present condition, I would join the company and exit as soon as possible after joining taking advantage of the company rules.

In most cases the engagement or offer letter contains a paragraph which states that "your services will be governed by the rules in force from time to time". If the company has given a set of applicable rules along with the offer letter, Faiz should consult these before taking any step.

My friends in the community have responded well to Mr. Faiz's problem.

Well, as per my opinion, accepting job offers from companies doesn't bind you to that company. A prospective candidate has every right to join the right company of his choice as he is the one who can think of his future more than anybody else. In this case, I would advise a candidate to study as much as possible about the companies where he is applying for jobs before accepting such offers.

As far as offer letters issued by the companies are concerned, i donot endorse the thinking that the candidates use these offer letters for either getting a hike in their present organisations or bargaining with another employer. As a matter of fact, one accepts an offer on agreed terms and he only needs to tell the other employer that his / her offer is unacceptable as he has a better offer in hand from (why would he need to show a letter to prove his point ?).

Yes, it is not unusual for a certain % of candidates to refuse offer at any stage before / after joining during the period of probation.

Hence, a lot of homework needs to be done before selecting and recruiting the right fix.

The truth is that majority of consultants just go through the cvs (on job portals) and call the candidates to fix up appointment with the employers without making an initial assessment,not even meeting them personally.

With Regards to one and all and best wishes for a happy new year !!

Talk tough to the placement consultant. His threat to youm is illegal. You may lodge an FIR with the polish. In case he does try to harm you in your present employment, you can file a civil suit if you have some evidence to prove that he has informed your employer. This is professional miscondut. Whenever you apply for a Job, mark " Confidential" on top of the covering letter. In case of resume too mark the same if it is hard copy with your signature. If you using e-mail, add a sentence as a last line:"Please treat this confidential".
