[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had an intern do that, and she burned a bridge with us but I could see it was the right move for her. There won’t be any real long-term cost because that candidate wanted her career to go in a slightly different direction. [/quote] How did that intern tell your company that she was backing out of the offer[/quote] She handled it very well. Was honest, forthright, apologetic and explained the reasoning behind her actions. Acted quickly once she learned of her preferred offer. Said she hopes we could still keep in touch. We’re still annoyed but she did what was best for her and I can’t blame her. It wasn’t a tenure-track hire where we turned down other desirable and specially-qualified candidates; it was an undergrad internship. [/quote]
