I'd hire this person just to improve his life for a while. Hiring him will probably help him more than someone else. If you can hire or promote or help someone, then do so. Recently had to choose to promote either a single mom (stable home) 11 yrs in the job or a part-time just graduated woman renting a house for free in exchange for child care. Both were equally qualified. Which would be helped more? The part time student. Once promoted into FT position she gets benefits. Easy choice. Plus, the company stresses helping employees as #1 priority. Even if this guy does not work out and he is termed after 90 days, he is better off trying and I improved his lot.
