Why XXXX YYYY (Phone No.: 9876543210) was blacklisted?

On November 13, 2023, this candidate sent us messages via WhatsApp from her phone number 987543210, inquiring about several matters already addressed on our website. Despite repeated requests to review the job description, as all inquiries were addressed there, she continued to ask questions such as our company's turnover and the director's salary. Since it is not our responsibility to provide such information, the call was ended.

Later on, she was rejected and she has left a negative review badmouthing us with swearwords on Google to defame us.

By defaming and threatening us, she has committed crimes under section 504 and 506 of the IPC. It is evident that she is frustrated, unsatisfied, jobless, and unemployed. We urge other companies to be cautious before hiring her as she is a frustrated, unsatisfied individual who, out of frustration, starts badmouthing the companies that reject her application.

Security Measures Taken:

  1. We have implemented a stringent ban on these candidates, ensuring they will not be considered for employment within our company, our subsidiaries, or our affiliated partner companies.
  2. We kindly urge our clients and fellow recruiters within our LinkedIn network, WhatsApp groups, and other social media platforms to refrain from hiring these individuals, as they may have been involved in criminal activities.
  3. We advise background verification firms to reject these candidates during the verification process, as we possess sufficient evidence of their unprofessional, rude, or criminal conduct.
  4. These individuals remain under our scrutiny, and we are prepared to pursue rigorous legal action against them. We will issue demand notices to their postal addresses to recover any applicable losses incurred, including business losses, damage to reputation, and compensation for mental distress resulting from their misconduct, in addition to litigation costs.
  5. We will regularly monitor the social media profiles of these individuals. If we discover they have been hired by other companies, we will notify those companies, cautioning them about the candidates' criminal activities.
