Sorry to hijack this thread. I thought there is no other platform better than this to enquire on a job-related question.
at my workplace we have encountered quite frequently candidates who had earlier promised to join our company (someone even signed the letter of appointment) but decided to back out later.
Wondering what is your usual practice in handling such cases?
Thanks in advance for your replies!

Does your contract have a no-show clause? if not, it is very hard for you to do anything about it. since he/she has not started work with your Company, the question of employer-employee relationship may not arise under a contract of service.
i recommend your HR to include a no-show clause (i.e. if he/she fails to report for work, he/she will be liable to pay a sum equivalent to two week salary in lieu of notice)
if you have a no-show clause and the candidate backs out and does not want to pay, the option of asking your legal counsel to take over this case to the courts is open to be used.
i hope that helps.
