who to hire


Question Posted Tuesday October 10 2006, 12:00 am

I have to decide which person to hire for my company. One person has a lot of experience. The other has some experience. Obviously I should hire the first person. But the second person is struggling financially and has been for years. I don't know if it's up to me to end his struggling by hiring him or what. Who should I hire?

Hi,
I think that you should hire the first person, because they will give you better results. But the person who is struggling financially should find a way to get their life to be better. Maybe you can help them by giving them advice? I suggest refinancing their house, or get help at a clinic.

Hope I've been helpfull

Unless you know one or both people personally, I wouldn't get this involved at all.

I myself would like to hire the struggling person, into any job at all, to help him or her out, while hiring the more experienced person for the job at hand. Unless the more experienced person was some anti-social hire that might well cause problems down the road, I'd probably go with the more experienced person.

I, myself, could be in this position currently as the less experienced person - I've been on the hook for some time now waiting for an interview with a specific company. Even then, though, I would understand if I got passed over (though I wouldn't exactly be happy about it TBH).

depends. the person who has a lot of experience could be very lazy you know ? but the people who is struggling is problably a very good reliable worker. take there character into concideration not just there experience the one who is struggling probably has a lot of protental to learn and put his full potential in the company just look at the pros and cons of both and then pick. who knows. the person who has a lot of experience could be a good worker also.. so make a pro and cons list and pickk who you this will better the company

As an employer you should be amoral. It is not up to you to help someone who is struggling, it is up to you to ensure you are doing what is best for the company. Therefore, the first is the best selection.

I cant really tell you who to hire, but obviously hire the one who has the most to offer. That doesnt necessarily mean the one with the most experience. Just pick the best fit for your position, and the one you will be the okay with picking. Live with no regrets!
