Ethical Hiring Practices PowerPoint
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I need a PowerPoint presentation on the following (inclusinve of graphics):
Case Study One – Ethical Considerations in Hiring
Scenario:
You have been asked to serve on the hiring committee for a job opening in your office. An old friend has applied for the position. You are aware that your friend is in need of employment. However, you also know that she was previously let go from her last employer, and you suspect it may have been due to spending excessive time on personal phone calls and emails while at work.
Your friend may expect you to advocate on her behalf or provide a positive reference if you are selected for the hiring committee.

Discussion Questions:
1. Committee Participation:
o Should you serve on the hiring committee, given the potential conflict of interest? Why or why not?
o How might serving on the committee impact your objectivity or credibility?
2. Recommendation Decisions:
o Should you recommend your friend for the position? Consider her qualifications, past work performance, and your ethical responsibilities.
o How can you separate personal relationships from professional responsibilities in this scenario?
3. Sharing Suspicions:
o Should you share your concerns about your friend’s past work behavior with the committee? Why or why not?
o What is the appropriate way to provide factual information versus personal speculation?
4. Reference Requests:
o How should you respond if your friend asks you to serve as a reference?
o What strategies can you use to provide an honest, professional assessment without damaging personal relationships?
o

Additional Reflection:
• Discuss the ethical challenges of balancing loyalty to friends with professional responsibilities.
• Consider the potential consequences of bias or favoritism in hiring decisions.
• Reflect on best practices for maintaining transparency, fairness, and integrity in the recruitment process.
