India has reported its hottest and driest August since national records began more than a century ago, the latest in a string of records broken worldwide as climate change intensifies. August falls in the middle of India's annual monsoon, a season that usually brings up to 80 percent of the country's yearly rainfall. Heavy downpours brought deadly floods to parts of India's north during the month, but on the whole, rains were much more subdued, resulting in record heat. «Average mean and maximum temperatures in August 2023 were the record highest since 1901,» the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said. «The large rainfall deficiency and weak monsoon condition is the main reason.» IMD data showed August average rainfall of 161.7 millimetres (6.4 inches) this year, 30.1mm lower than the previous August record in 2005. With millions of farmers dependent on monsoons for their crops, summer rains are vital for India's food security and the livelihood of its rural workforce. The monsoon occurs when summer heat warms the landmass of the subcontinent, causing the air to rise and sucking in cooler Indian Ocean winds, which then produce enormous volumes of rain. But it also brings destruction every year in the form of landslides and floods.

Stella Thomas, Head of Talent Acquisition, Tally Solutions, a leading business software provider, says it is important to understand the nuances involved in taking such a complicated decision. First of all, there are two sides to the story. On one hand, companies face a huge challenge if people do not join, especially at the last moment, and they have to restart the hiring process. Thomas says that it is unprofessional to decline an offer after accepting it, and it can affect the candidate’s personal brand to some extent. Furthermore, the organisation concerned may not have a positive orientation towards such candidates when they reply later to the company. She says, “We do witness multiple instances of candidates declining an already accepted offer. In the recruitment world, this nomenclature is termed as renege. Recently, we experienced a similar situation with one of our tech hires. The candidate declined the offer on the day of joining. Any previous experiences do not prepare the talent acquisition team to deal with such situations.” While talking about the difficulties faced by employers, she explains that one of the challenges a product company of their size faces is that there is a provision to roll out only one offer per requisition. Hence, it is necessary to have a continuous flow of pipelines ready to mitigate such challenges.
