Agicent - We've seen this happening a lot during the pandemic days and figured out and applied a multi-pronged approach to fix this problem. Some things we do -
- We effectively communicate the job, KRAs, timings and all other perks and terms of the job to the candidate before we even shortlist them for the next round. Most of the times, candidates can back out due to having non clarity on the project or client so we ensure they are on the same page as the first step.
- We shortlist and select backup similar resources as well for such situations only, usually we always have 2 selected candidates for one job so if one backs out the other can quickly fill in. In case of regular skills like react native, iOS, Android, .NET, Java core, React.js, Wordpress, PHP we usually have more than 2 selects all the time.
