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?
Your prospective job offer was contingent upon the successful completion of the I9. Merely stste that due to a failure to complete the I9, you have to take a different route.
