Withdrew signed and dated contract 3 weeks before start date - Regulatory Affairs Consultant DLRC Employee Review

We are extremely sorry that you have not been able to join us, but as I’m sure you’re aware (your previous company has laid people off recently) there is no certainty in the service sector and, having not successfully secured the expected work to keep you employed, we made this very hard decision to protect the current business. The impact of Brexit, pandemic, inflation and high interest rates have had an impact globally this year. I am acutely aware of the impact of our decision on you personally and we appreciate that, while paying you a notice period doesn’t fully compensate you, we hope it goes someway to helping in this difficult situation. I am disappointed to hear that you felt the decision was not executed with kindness and would welcome the opportunity to discuss this further, however, I think if we had allowed you to join the company and then asked you to leave during probation that would have wasted your time and demonstrated less integrity. I have followed up with our recruitment manager and understand that he did contact you several times during your notice period, so again, would be interested to understand how we could improve this process. Finally we all wish you success in securing an alternative position quickly.
