Offer Rescinded After Onboarding – Candidate Experience Concern - Recensione dipendente - HR Coordinator presso GardaWorld

I went through the full hiring process with the organization and was extended a formal offer with a confirmed start date. I completed the background screening and drug test promptly and communicated a pre-scheduled graduation commitment during the interview process, which was acknowledged at the time. Two days before my scheduled start date, the offer was rescinded due to the same date that had already been disclosed and confirmed. The communication leading up to the rescind was delayed, and there was no proactive discussion or attempt to problem-solve. This was disappointing, especially after completing all onboarding steps in good faith. I am sharing this experience to help candidates be aware and to encourage clearer internal coordination and communication between hiring managers and recruiting. A strong “people-first” culture includes consistency, transparency, and follow-through during the hiring and onboarding phases — and I hope this feedback is helpful for continuous improvement. Lack of communication between recruiting and hiring leadership. Offer was rescinded after onboarding steps were completed. Candidate expectations were not aligned internally.
