There is a special place in hell for these folks..
They offered 30 LPA. Candidate asked for 32. HR - "Budget is locked. Are you really going to lose an opportunity for 2 Lacs?” Candidate - "Are you really going to lose talent for 2 Lacs?" Silence. This is how companies lose. 2 Lacs saved on paper 20 Lacs lost in delayed hiring 20 Cr lost when competitor with the same talent ships faster & wins the market
90% of the time, companies never revisit the decision. Talent bends. And the rare time a candidate puts their foot down and says "No" - they're labeled MONEY-MINDED, DOLLAR-HUNGRY, Opportunistic p*g.
Also, please don't even get me started on the companies that know the candidate’s exact expectations from Day 0, still drag interviews for weeks
- make them pitch, present, and dream…and then show up at the end with a number they already knew was a dealbreaker
There is a special place in hell for these people. I know.. I saw one of the folks telling Yamraj to move forward and make space so he can sit comfortably on the buffalo.
One interview, 1000+ job opportunities
Take a 10-min AI interview to qualify for numerous real jobs auto-matched to your profile 🔑
If someone plays this from Day zero and still then try to lurch candidate... Then I'd suggest candidate to accept it and then ghost on last day...
Have myself done it and really enjoyed HR begging me on joining date to come... Man the shift in her tone was awesome..
Love it :) fair treatment
Damn. Well said
