1 Don’t believe candidates blindly
2 Proper screening on the candidate interest will reduce the no shows
Srinivas suravajhala  |  Supported idea  "Don’t believe candidates blindly "  |  1 year ago
Thanks for inviting me to the debate.  When the assessment of the candidate is wrong, we tend to have such no shows.  Proper assessment is required.  The pulse of the candidate to be smelled while interacting with him on phone itself.
Smita Sharma  |  Supported idea  |  1 year ago
Only proper screening can reduce it although this can never be stopped . A good follow up , information sharing and being completely transparent with the candidate also helps .
