Why Did The Job Offer Get Rejected?

A rejection of a job offer is a nightmare for any recruitment department of a company. The company selects a candidate after investing considerable amount of time and energy towards the process. However, when the candidate finally decides against joining the company it affects the recruitment team in terms of possible slippages towards the hiring goal and the organization which gets deprived of what it perceived to be the right-fit for the role.

Industry experts speculate that one of the greatest drivers behind this kind of behaviour is how the brand of the organization is perceived. One of the most prominent open secrets within any industry is actually about the culture of a particular organization operating therein. However most fail to acknowledge the fact that communicating the Employer Value Proposition to the prospective candidate during the interview is as important as the discussion of the compensation and rewards. Companies should ideally train the interviewer regarding the image he or she should portray regarding the company during the interview.

In conclusion, if people can leave jobs because of the manager they can also take up a job offer because they like the manager. Training the managers who more often than not are the final interview takers on the softer aspects of hiring would pay immense dividends to the organization in terms of its Human Capital.
