The JobOkPlease Blog

In what was merely an aberration till sometime ago now seems to be fast catching up as a trend. After having almost confirmed their jobs, the new recruits just don’t turn up. On digging deeper one realizes that the interview calls attended by these jobseekers are a part their strategy to assess their shortcomings and to gauge the worth of their skills in the job-market; they may not necessarily be in want of that job. While this may be beneficial for the jobseeker, it completely undermines the efficacy of the hiring exercise undertaken by the Recruiter. After spending valuable resources and time on the hiring process the companies realize that they have to return empty hand, because very few of their selected candidates have actually taken up the offers made to them.

Choice spoils and that is exactly what the above trend is an indicator of. With multiple job offers and plethora of opportunities, jobseekers today are willing to wait that much longer because they realize that the next offer is only going to be better than the previous one.
