I'm not saying I would or wouldn't, but consider this. I'm the hiring manager. I know someone has committed a felony. I argue that we should hire anyway.
Guess who is putting their career at a company on the line for a stranger?
- imafish 7y agoI think you are over dramatizing this. Bad hires happen. I do not see how the manager has their entire career on the line, if they need to fire someone later. Should it not be possible to create trust between two people, just because one of them has a criminal record? I do not follow that logic. Edit: My issue is with his absolute "never".
- x0x0 7y agoBad hires of course happen. I don't think that's relevant. Say I work at a place where (1) no criminal backgrounds is a rule, and (2) I have a candidate we would hire except for rule (1). If I personally push for an exception to rule (1) and the person turns out to be a bad hire -- and particularly if the badness of the hire is related to crimes -- I strongly suspect that will become a me problem.
