Hi! Folks
How do you deal with situations- where candidates who have given their acceptance about attending interviews - 2-3 days in advance do not turn up or call up on the day to express inability.
How can such scenarios be prevented.
I am a recruiter from Bangalore and am facing a lot of flak from one of my clients due to this problem. Any ideas suggestions will be welcome.
