Of late the incidents of candidates at senior level not joining as per their own commitment at the time of taking the offer letter are in the raise.Normally we spend about 1 to 3 months to find out a suitable candidate who is willing to switch & after getting the offer letter & making us wait for at least 1 month,he/she will send a mail telling us that due to personal reasons they are unable to join.Imagine the trauma/damage done if the position is a critical one!Is there any legal remedy which can be defended in a court of law?..may be by way of an agrement for joining on a date committed by the candidate failing which some legal actions can be initiated.
