If your company was considering hiring a candidate and you were around during the interview and learned from your spouse something less than favorable about this person in the realm of employment, would you mention anything to the hiring manager?

• No, the interview was taking place behind my desk. I wasn't listening but heard bits and pieces... which I thought was weird but I tried to do my job as it was my first day back from vacation and I was swamped.

• Well, then I would probably approach the manager and say that I had heard something about the candidate, without being specific, and ask if they want to follow up on it. If the answer is 'No', then they have made their decision not to pursue it.

• What do think about someone who works for a company for 4 months, goes out to lunch and never returns. The company calls and calls.. no answer, they are concerned for his well-being. They mail letters to his home and they never hear a word from him. This walked off position was not listed at all on the resume.

• Thats really weird, I actually knew someone who did that, my husband was his boss and had many sleepless nights worrying about this bloke and then he turned up working for the opposition. My hubby put it out what this man had done, but I don't think it achieved anything.
