Please note that interviewing and finally selecting a candidate does not always translate to the candidate joining us and coming on board.

Although we confirm and reconfirm during each preliminary interview about the candidate’s availability and desire to take on the new position, unexpected factors at times prevail, especially considering the significant boom in India’s current job market. In fact, it is not uncommon for some candidates to even sign and accept our offer letters, but eventually decline to join the company during their notice periods for unexpected reasons. Such factors which are very difficult to predict or identify at an earlier or later stage range from:
|
| • | Arctern not being satisfied with the candidate’s reference checks
|
| • | After attending and clearing multiple interviews, the candidate undergoing a change of heart about a) the role being offered or b) about relocation or c) about their original financial expectations beyond the discussed budgeted amount
|
| • | The candidate being interested in Arctern’s position/offer letter only as a platform for negotiations with current (or another) company
|
| • | The pressure the candidate faces from their existing employer (this is usually the leading factor) upon giving their resignation as the current employer does not want to lose a trained resource - by enticing them with increased pay packages, promotions, or escalated opportunities/promises of sending them to the US and emotionally leveraging their existing relationship.
|
| We realize that such risks are not different from situations employers face in the US, however, it is still important for us to bring them to your attention and appropriately set your expectations. We will always keep you posted if any such development occurs for any candidate that we have jointly selected as soon as it deserves your attention. Consequently, it is very important that from the outset we actually select and negotiate simultaneously with at least two candidates for each position. This way in case our first choice begins to back track or is unable to accept our offer for any reason, we minimize the loss of time in filling the position on our end.

As good talent is hard to find anywhere in the world, it is always in high demand. Good candidates are sought after by a number of companies. With the current bullish conditions in the Indian job market, and considering the above factors, it is important that we are expedient in our actions when we do like a candidate.
