I had someone apply for a job through a recruiter at my company and passed the interview with flying colors. However, it has come across after the interview that they may not have the legal ability to work. The company I work for is audited regularly, so I can’t have hiring them swept under the rug.
How do I deal with this without jepordizing the applicant?
Bro this is simple. Just say we can’t hire u as u have not proven your right to work in this country. U don’t need to pussyfoot around the issue or let them down slowly. Just drop the truth and move on. Ur over-thinking a simple thing.
I’ve always been asked to show I’m authorized to work whenever I work. Isn’t this true for all jobs?
This post (op) seems likes bait imo.
Unless your boss is hiring under the table, I can’t see see how the normal HR hiring process wouldn’t weed out someone not authorized to work.
Maybe do your job and let HR do theirs?
My post isn’t bait. We’ve gone through the process with HR and then found that the applicant may not have work authorization.
