A recruiter's rejection of a candidate for 'offer shopping' has ignited a fiery debate online. Siddharth Sharma, a tech recruiter, declined a candidate who sought a better offer while already having one in hand.
Sharma criticized the practice as desperate and unethical. While some supported Sharma, others found his stance unreasonable, arguing that candidates are merely mirroring the behavior of organizations.
They emphasized candidates' need to secure themselves in an uncertain job market. The debate underscores differing perspectives on hiring ethics and the balance of power between employers and job seekers.
