Black list !

 

Candidate Blacklisting if they don't turn up for Interview :-).

Is it justified to black list those candidate who don't show up for interview once they give the confirmation of the same?

Recently, I read a post on LinkedIn where a lady posted that if candidate don't show up, we should black list that person for further interviews. 

My view is, as far as it is your own company, you are welcome to do so, but if you are advising others to do the same, that means you are ruining the entire professional life of that person.

I know one bad fish makes entire pond dirty but that doesn't mean all fish should suffer for one fish's mistake.

May be that person is telling you the real reason of not attending interview or you without knowing the person interest level asked him to come for interview or your salary structure doesn't work for that person and he/ she is hesitate to say that it on you face.

Your views are welcome

I would love to blacklist a person who do not turn up for an interview. In my view this is the way to show disrespect to a company and may be your potential employer. In India we take things very casually. So what we are not showing up for a commitment that we have made. What difference does this make ? This not only shows the attitude of a person but also reflects how he perceives the company he is going to join. This also raises a question how committed that person will be once he joins ? Of course there may be genuine reasons for now showing up . In that case the candidate must inform so that others waiting for his interview will not waste their valuable time. It's not about just an interview rather it shows how committed you are and you will be to the company. I am an employer and i will not prefer a person in my company who do not take things seriously. We are not here to do charity.
