After accepting candidate for a full-time job, employer retracts offer and changes it to part-time, leaving candidate high and dry: ‘They pulled the rug out from under me’

Hiring managers, this is a message for all of you, so please read it carefully – Employment is a two-way street. You have to treat candidates with the same respect you expect them to treat you. You need employees just as much as they need employers, and everything about the hiring process should be a good match for both sides.

That means that just as you expect candidates to not lie in their resumes, you cannot lie in the job posting. It is as simple as that. The job should fit the right person, and it cannot be done if you are not being honest about the terms when you put them out there. No candidate should go through the long hiring process just to learn that what was written and said about the job is not true. It is disrespectful and simply a waste of everyone's time.
