Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best way for managers to identify the ethically questionable applicants is by asking the candidates to go through interviews, tests, and background checks. These processes can be used to assess a candidate's values, integrity, and past behavior, which can give an idea of their ethics and conduct in the workplace. Hiring friends and family members or favoring candidates with references from existing employees can lead to a biased hiring process that may not consider a candidate's ethics or behavior in the workplace. Hiring individuals with the same ethnic background is discriminatory and should be avoided.
