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.

I had someone apply for a job through a recruiter at my company and passed the interview with flying colors. However, it has come across after the interview that they may not have the legal ability to work. The company I work for is audited regularly, so I can't have hiring them swept under the rug.

How do I deal with this without jepordizing the applicant?

The problem is that there is a recruiter as a middleman. This would be a lot easier if there wasn't a third party fiscally interested in this.

the recruiter should have vetted them better. Part of the reason to go through a recruiter is to avoid these things.

It's pretty simple, the candidate didn't meet the requirements.

Not sure why you're involved, this is an HR and legal issue. If HR said they don't have docs showing eligibility, then that needs to be reported to the recruiter, otherwise they're going to recommend this person to somewhere else, and run into the same issue. How would you feel if you were in their shoes?

Whether someone can legally work somewhere is not your problem to solve, unless you can actually do something, like help them submit appropriate paperwork (I've done this for employees who were temps, to help them get more permanent status).

The recruiter sent you an inelligible candidate. That's just as much their problem as it is yours.

What if it's also a trap set by trump goons. Wouldn't put it past them.

Yehn just tell the recruiter that they were impressive in interview but seemed not suitable in the role.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

We already expressed going forward with the candidate.

If you are in the HR department call your legal department. If you are not in the HR department, call HR.

You could tell the candidate your concern and they could say that negotiations have failed to the recruiter, as could you and then you both are pulling out.
