Preferential hiring and the question of competence
Journal of Business Ethics 10 (2):161 - 163 (1991)
| Abstract | It is widely believed that preferential hiring practices inevitably result in hiring less qualified candidates for jobs. Indeed, this follows analytically from some definitions of preferential hiring (e.g. George Sher's). This paper describes several preferential hiring strategies that do not have this consequence. Sher's definition is thus shown to be inadequate and an alternative definition is proposed. | |||||||||
