Hi Dr. Raghunath,
Thank you for your reply. I've observed that project managers from different MNCs handle candidate rejections more professionally compared to third-party vendors. The latter often just settle without effective communication, leading to frustration and pressure from directors. I'm considering adding a clause addressing this in our collaboration, given the disparity in how candidates are managed. Is that something we can mentioned in an agreement?

Hi,
It's important to ensure that candidate rejections are handled professionally and with effective communication, regardless of whether it's a third-party vendor or an MNC project manager. I agree that adding a clause addressing this in your collaboration agreement would be beneficial to ensure consistency in how candidates are managed
Thanks
