Imagine thinking you might have the right candidate coming in for an interview at your company and guess what? They don’t show up.

We all know how selection representatives feel when a candidate abandons an interview. It is disappointing, it sits around and makes more work for the selection representative. Be that as it may, recollect there are justifications for why up-and-comers don’t appear.

In the event that no-showing is turning into a repetitive cycle for your organisation, it’s an ideal opportunity to look inside to see why candidates aren’t going to your meetings and what you can do to fix it.

There are various reasons why a candidate may not make an appearance to a meeting without giving reasons. One normal explanation is identified with a low unemployment rate. Once in a while, individuals who are employed try to go after positions they think might be a great match for them, yet upon additional examination about the organisation or the position, they change their mind so that they don’t end up going to the meeting.

In addition to the point stated above, an applicant may flake-out on the grounds that there are parts of the position that the individual finds out about later in the enrollment interaction and is reluctant to acknowledge, like compensation, movement, or travel necessities. One of your finalists may not appear if joining your organization implies being away from their family for extensive stretches of time, a compensation decline or migrating.

One more explanation as to why a candidate may not go to a meeting is the fact that they couldn’t get the time off work or fit it in their timetable. It’s logical that your best applicants are the most active individuals so it’s harder to get to a meeting, particularly if they have no association with the organisation.
