Others will still work with you but not that one you reneg with
Even if you told them about the offer?
.
had a friend do this. she didnt know what she was getting into when she got the offer. so i think ppl understand. just epxlain why you cant do the job anymore because you dont like the idea of doing it anymore
Did the headhunter still work with her? How far in advance did she let them know? Thanks!
As a recruiter …of course we will still work w you! We get better then anyone how insane the market is and you guys getting 3-4 offers at once means you can’t afford to dismiss anyone. Keep at it; no one is surprised by anything these days.
That's a first, I have a friend who works at CPI/Amity/DSP and she told me that if a candidate were to renege they won't work with them again because:
1) HH lose $ on that candidate (since they didn't end up placing the candidate)
2) While a bit unfair to the HH, it hurts the credibility of the HH shop by the firm that hired them
