Unprofessional Behavior of Job Seekers
We, all HR people, are facing the same problem from job seekers who show unprofessional behavior such as:
• Not attending interviews after confirming and not responding to calls.
• Trying to renegotiate on salary after approval and receiving the offer letter.
• Not joining after receiving the appointment letter.
These types of individuals are putting HR and consultants in embarrassing situations without any fault of their own. However, these individuals do not face any consequences for their actions, unlike us.
Should we share the names and details of such individuals so others can be aware of them? If you agree, please reply, and I will start sharing.

The Changing Dynamics of the Job Market
This, my friend, is the free market at play. Remember the time when employers held the key to the city? Now, the tables and times have turned. The candidates are calling the shots, and so they should! So, what is an organization to do?
Well, I guess there is tons of material on the Internet regarding how industry leaders like Microsoft, Mahindra & Mahindra, Oberoi Hotels, ITC Hotels, Google India, Hindustan Unilever Ltd, etc., are changing their organizations from within to appeal to their future people as well as retain them. But, as the previous response said, there is no simple solution. How can there be? This is a different generation with different priorities having to engage with yesterday's business environment and culture!
Time for a Significant Internal Change

As I am also facing such situations, at that time I send a final SMS mentioning the message below:
"Being a professional executive, you should reply with your reporting status for our interview, but you still have not accepted our phone calls and SMS. I hope you will respond to my message."
After ten minutes, I received a message saying, "Sorry, I was unable to attend due to my official reasons, which we can share with the business as a final status about the candidate." As HR professionals, we should handle such situations without stress. Thank you all for sharing my experience.
