Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Priscilla should recuse herself from any involvement in the hiring process for Larry's son to avoid a conflict of interest. She should make sure that another HR staff member handles the screening and selection process to ensure fairness and objectivity. A personal relationship with an applicant's family member could influence Priscilla's judgment and create a perception of bias. The other options do not pose significant conflicts of interest as long as Priscilla maintains a professional demeanor and avoids any special treatment or favoritism towards Larry or his company.
