Many companies recruit ex-employees if they had resgined and left, however, a company based in Malad west recruited a candidate thrice in a span of 1 year. You would ask us, what’s so unique about it? Well, then here is the uniqueness, Loyal Guard (Name changed) had absconded from this company twice before and this is the third time Loyal Guard has joined the company. Well for starters, ‘absconding’ means leaving the organization without intimating anyone in the organization; off course that occurs only after withdrawing the salary credited to your account at the end of the month.

What does this 3rd time recruitment signify?

We would all find it extremely difficult to believe that the HR department would be unaware of such a thing. The only reason the company recruited ‘Loyal Guard’ thrice was because they desperately needed fluent English speaking agents to join the organization as several of the processes needed agents to be filled in to meet the requirement.

It means that 'Recruitment', which is should be the HR department's Forte happens to be the Achilles' heel of the HR department of this company. We are not trying to be harsh on the HR department as we are all human beings and we are all fallible.

Was Loyal Guard recruited for the same process all the time?

No, the HR department of this company is very caring, considerate and smart. They want their employees to be multi talented. Loyal Guard was recruited for a different process every time he joined the organization. Loyal Guard has a finger in every pie! This is what we call lavish spending on training. The person who recruited Loyal Guard should only hope that Loyal Guard remains true blue to the end and is able to cut the mustard.

Did anyone recognize Loyal Guard in the office premises?

The company in question has its operations in different buildings in Malad West, Mumbai. The HR department of this company, as I said before, is extremely considerate. They ensured that the all three processes that Loyal Guard was assigned to were based in different delivery centers (buildings) so that very few people recognize Loyal Guard.

The funniest part:

After joining this company for the third time, Loyal Guard received a written notice at home informing Loyal Guard that Loyal Guard has not reported to work since __ (date) and loyal guard must report to work as soon as possible or else Loyal Guard’s services will be terminated.

Is Loyal Guard still employed with the same organization?

Loyal Guard has requested us to keep the identity confidential and therefore we would not be able to reveal Loyal Guard’s whereabouts as we do not want to put Loyal Guard in a pickle.

We chose not to be harsh on the HR department in our article because BPO Curry beleives that we can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
