Revoking the offer after 1.5 week
Pros
HR recruiter's service was good.
Cons
To provide some context, I went through a rigorous selection process, including three interviews, for the aforementioned position. I was delighted when you, as the HR recruiter, contacted me to extend a verbal offer, indicating that the position was mine pending the completion of necessary procedures to finalize the offer. You explicitly advised me not to leave my current job until I received the official offer. With great trust and enthusiasm, I patiently waited for the offer to materialize, declining two enticing offers from multinational companies in the process. During the nine-day waiting period, I regularly sought reassurance from you regarding the progress of the offer. Each time, I was assured that everything was on track, giving me further confidence to decline the other opportunities. However, the subsequent turn of events shattered my trust and left me in a state of disbelief. On the ninth day, after eagerly anticipating the offer, I received a disheartening communication from you indicating that the company had decided to hire only one candidate instead of the previously agreed-upon two. This sudden change and the subsequent revocation of the job offer have had a significant impact on me, both professionally and personally. Allow me to express the depth of my frustration and disappointment with the company's handling of this situation. Not only did I invest considerable time and effort into the interview process, but I also made important decisions about my career trajectory based on the verbal offer I received. I trusted the integrity of the hiring process and relied on the information provided by you. By revoking the offer after such a prolonged period of waiting, the company has demonstrated a lack of professionalism and regard for candidates' time and aspirations. The repercussions of this decision extend beyond the missed opportunities from the other job offers I declined. My morale has been severely affected, and I find myself questioning the company's values and commitment to fair and transparent hiring practices.
