My recruitment experience with Fasanara Capital was extremely disappointing and, frankly, damaging.
After a full interview process, I received and accepted an offer, signed a witnessed employment contract, and was given a confirmed start date. Based on these assurances, I resigned from my permanent role in good faith. Only days before I was due to start, the offer was withdrawn.
The withdrawal occurred after I raised a small number of reasonable clarification points and requested minor changes to the employment contract. The contract itself was heavily company-favourable and offered virtually no protections for employees, which made it necessary to seek clarification before starting. These were standard, professional questions — not demands — and were raised constructively and transparently.
Despite initially being told that contract questions were not an issue, the firm later cited my “tone” and the fact that I had raised these points as justification for withdrawing the offer. This inconsistency was concerning. Once the offer was withdrawn, the company refused to engage constructively or take responsibility for the consequences, stating that the matter was “closed,” despite the clear reliance and financial impact on my side.
Adding to this, the same role was subsequently re-advertised under a different job title with materially identical responsibilities, further undermining the explanations provided.
This experience demonstrated a serious lack of duty of care toward candidates. I would strongly caution anyone considering joining Fasanara to not resign from their current role until they are physically onboarded and working, regardless of signed contracts or assurances.
Advice to Management:
Review the balance and fairness of employment contracts
Treat contract discussions as normal professional practice, not a reason to withdraw offers
Improve accountability and consistency in HR decision-making
