Study Notes
Ethical Considerations in Hiring
- Fairness and Objectivity: Sarah must ensure her decision is solely based on David's merits and qualifications to avoid bias. Favoring a friend, even unintentionally, can compromise the fairness of the hiring process.
- Transparency: Sarah should disclose her relationship with David to superiors or the hiring committee. This allows the organization to make informed decisions and prevents potential favoritism perception.
- Delegating the Decision: To avoid a direct conflict of interest, Sarah can remove herself from the final hiring decision. Another manager or a hiring committee can evaluate David's application, maintaining the integrity of the process and ensuring an unbiased outcome.
