Ethical dilemmas in hiring


I need help with the following scenario. Please provide references as well.

You are in charge of selecting a person to fill the position of Information Technology Specialist for your organization. Six candidates have successfully completed a "pass/fail" written examination. The candidates are equally qualified in terms of education and experience. The final hurdle in the selection process is an interview. Prior to any interviews being held, you received an email from the President of your organization, Patricia Madsen. In her email, she indicated that she would "like to see George McDonough get the position." George McDonough is one of the candidates.

Prepare an email response to Ms. Madsen. In your response you should address, at a minimum, the following:

1. Is this an ethical dilemma?

2. Why it is or is not an ethical dilemma.

3. How you evaluated the alternatives.

4. What your final decision is.

5. What principle(s) you used to arrive at that decision.

Submit your email (as a Word document) to your instructor.
