Hiring a Friend: Answer D
A friend of yours wants to transfer to your division but he
may not be the best qualified for the job. You do have an
opening and one other person, whom you do not know, has
applied. What do you do?
Answer D: Request human resources to extend the search for
additional candidates before making the selection.
Lockheed Martin's Comment: 10 points
Is favored if you believe there may be someone out there who
has even better qualifications than either your friend or the
only applicant.
