Question

As a junior member of a police force, you have been asked to assist in recruiting activities with interviews of applicants, a process you completed only a year ago. During the application process, a candidate reveals on his personal disclosure form that he has used the services of a prostitute after he turned 18 years of age and before he applied to your police force. Sex with a prostitute is not a criminal offence, although solicitation for the purposes of prostitution is.

Questions to consider: Personal disclosure forms are guidelines for use during truth–verification interviews. In this case, the applicant is being truthful. Against what standards would you judge this applicant’s behaviour? Are you able to justify your decision to hire or reject his application?

Explanation / Answer

Any organization has various competencies levels which differentiate itself with the other organization, as the as the people associated with it. On the basis of these competencies, organization and people build credibility.

Competitive are like: Honesty, Communication, leadership, Teamwork, Result oriented, problem solving etc.

With the above example of applicant being truthful played a very important role in terms of being honest and not hiding anything. Still its important to understand the reason behind involvement with prostitute, therefore interview is very important. Interviews that focus on more general ethical standards as well as industry issues and social norms for the local cultures in which the company operates will often yield more interesting -- and informative -- results. Because it would help us to give justification as well as chance to share the thought of the candidate.

Besides that, to check on behaviour, reference of people plays a very important role. What others can share from previous organization plays a critical role. It’s a reality check or reconfirmation on candidate behaviours, temperament or personality too.

Besides above stated reasons, does he fit the eligibility criteria for the for job like year of experience, profile etc. If yes, the its always better to give a chance to the candidate.

Moral norms are basic to the achievement of any association, yet it can be phenomenally hard to judge a hopeful's moral models amid the meeting procedure.
