What if an Candidate has been contracted to work for us and is unhappy with their role?
You should contact us and make us aware of the situation. Initially this is something that should be attempted to be resolved between yourself and the associates, however, if the circumstances are extreme you should contact a Relationship Manager who will do everything possible to help you and advise the associate to do the same.  top
