Some convoys did have designated rescue ships that would bring up the rear, and, if they had the opportunity, escorts would try to pick up survivors. That said, any ship that stopped to pick people up out of the water was an easy target for a u-boat that managed to escape detection and was still close-by.
On a related note, I once torpedoed a merchant and the one behind him stopped right alongside for about five minutes. I was amazed. Recorded in my log that he was picking up survivors, and I let him go.

Sometimes they didn't specially in the misted of a convoy battle with a wolf pack ships were given the order to scatter and DDs did all they could to hunt down uboats. For a ship to sit still while rescuing sailors was tantamount to suicide might as well paint a bulls-eye on your hull...

U-19's second patrol part 2.
Intercept First Hit Second Hit Waiting Abandon Ship She's Going Down Cutting It Close Return All in all a disappointing second patrol for the U-19. One neutral large merchant sunk. One British medium cargo for 4400 tons. A miss with my last torpedo on a small freighter. |

Type IID the Channel, 1940. Pestered by a patrol boat, so had a pop at it with the aa gun and reported the contact, within a few minutes a couple of stukas turned up:
They strafed the boat with gunfire, then came the real fireworks! |
