Dear member,
In the recent past, you have found out a faulty hiring process and a job candidate with a criminal background has been hired. Nevertheless, your post raises a few more questions?
Are you an employee of that company? If not then what is your interest in passing the information to the company officials about hiring a person with a criminal background? Are you in any way connected with the hired candidate?
Who discovered that the hired job candidate has a criminal background? How was it discovered? Is there a piece of material evidence?
This "candidate with criminal background", is he just been accused and a criminal case is going on or he has been convicted by a court? Please note that Indian jurisprudence works on the principle, nobody is guilty till it is proved.
The candidate has been hired by one of the companies of the groups. However, do they do the background check and if yes, do you know whether an antecedent check is a part of the background verification (BGV) process?
Possibly the hired candidate could be smart and he might have given information to the HR department that his detractors could show that his hands are deep in the jam of a crime. However, because of his proactiveness, they might have ignored this piece of information from your side.
Please provide us with the complete information. It would not fair on the part of the members of this group to give the opinions unless we know the facts. The selected job candidate might have a criminal background, however, this group cannot become a channel to satisfy one's malevolence.
Thanks,
Dinesh Divekar
