No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Well, they have to show proof of ability to work in the country. If they can't, they don't get the job.
Consult your HR department. Likely they will give a reasonable timeline for the appropriate documents to be provided and if they can't furnish proof of work eligibility, they don't get the job.
I've been consulting with HR. They've come to the conclusion that the applicant probably isn't able to work. I'm just trying to wind this down.
I understand that your concerned for the person, but simply telling them that they need to produce proof before you can go any further seems fine.
This is all HR's problem, not anyone else's. It's what HR is for.
Not sure why they're punting it back to you.
What country are you in? If USA, you must be able to fill out an I-9. It’s pretty cut and dry. If there is a recruiter involved, they are required to have the potential employee complete one before they refer them.
US. We've tried to get the applicant to fill out an I-9, which failed.
"we would love to hire you, but can't until you fill out this document, I can wait until X date, but after that we will have to hire another applicant. Please get back with us as soon as possible, we would hate to miss out on the opportunity to work with such a highly qualified candidate"
Well then give the candidate a deadline and move on when/if they can't.
If you are in the US and they aren't able to work in the US legally, I'm sure they are worried that admitting they are not legal would possibly mean getting deported that much faster, so they are looking for a way to sneak out without admitting their status.
I'm looking to try to unwind this with as little blowback to the applicant as possible.
They have to file paperwork with the necessary supporting documents. If they can't, you have no idea why. Maybe it's because they're ineligible and in violation of immigration and visa restrictions. Maybe it's because the documents were lost in a move. Maybe they had their identity stolen and are awaiting new documents. Maybe they just don't actually give a shit about the job and aren't bothering to do the paperwork to start working.
All you can say is that you've asked them to fill out the paperwork and they haven't done so.
Then don't report them to ICE? Repost the want ad and move on. Treat it like they stopped responding, because they did.
I'm not going to report them to ICE, but I'm trying to address all the issues of going non-responsive.
How would you normally handle someone going dark at this point in the hiring process?
