Conditional Offer Withdrawn
Hi there I really could do with some advice, I'll try to keep quite a complicated situation as brief and clear as possible. Here goes:
i was called by a recruiter who got my CV from a job board or Linkedin. They told me of a role they'd been given exclusivity on (the typical rec sales nonsense) Investors who own a similar service in Wales had procured a similar site not far from home in the East Midlands. For clarity, the service is a Residential Care and School for young people with Learning Difficulties.
people involved:
investors/owners
Independant Recruiter
2 x Directors sourced by investors
1 x HR advisor employed by investor/owners
Chronology
Rec sends CV to all and arranges an informal meeting soon after
travelled to meet 1 x Director and HR for informal meeting at a wine bar, went through my CV in detail
series of texts swapped between 1 x director, HR and me to arrange meet with 2nd director
meet with 2nd director soon after, went well
notified client has shortlist down to me and 1 x other candidate
zoom/skype interview with HR, 2nd Director and me, went well
confirmed via text I'm preferred candidate and recruiter starts negotiating package on my behalf
via a series of texts between myself, recruiter and 1 x director an offer is sent via text of £65k PAYE FTE with quraterly KPI bonuses and a substantial sell on stipulat of £100k if business is sold
more texts between 1x director, me and recruiter negotiating pay, leave and minor T and C
rec contacts via text then phone with counter offer idea as negotiations are at an impasse` - £11,500 annual PAYE to satisfy OfSTED and HR and remaining figure invoiced from me through my consultancy Ltd. Yhis offer put to investors
1 x director confirms acceptance of second negotiation and requests start date as X.... i reply to agree, 1 x director states they'll get all of the 'paperwork ' ready
in the meantime, 1 x director gives me permission to liaise and direct the school improvement officer they've recruited to support them preparing resources, plans and agree to meeting in the foreseeable future
several days after rec chases me down in a panic, 2 x director has received unofficial, anecdotal negative references from 2 x previous employers. application halted, I send my formal referee details
contact rec and 1x director to ascertain facts, none given
quals and referees sent to rec, HR and 1 x director
few days later
i get confirmation written by 1 x director they're withdrawing any offers due to not matching their qualification expectations * bear in mind, no advert, JD, PP and my quals are more substantial than equivalent
I receive written confirmation from 4 x HR Directors confirming no references made by investors/or have those companies given verbal/ britten referees
i repeated requat
1 x Dir reiterared quals don't match their expectations but stated no negative anecdotal references were received from
asked for GDPR, Data controller details, does the rec regultory re has the investor/employer, concerned about data handliling i cite conditional offer breach evidenced via several texts
I have now had a threatening letter from employment solicitors informing me I won't be receiving any information as i only want it to build a financial claim. I want it because my data may have been mishandled as the recruiter hasn't responded to my requests for information nor has the HR.
I do feel strongly that they've removed a conditiconditionalof employment and will be submitting SARs anyone in the know r.e no advert JD ,PP and when initially negotiating they threw in a L5 CPD course what grounds have i got to approach the ICO and settlement agreements for unconditional breach
Sorry it's a long post
