She is interviewing with me for a job and doesn't know who I am. I checked her refs and her last employer said she was let go because she caused personal problems w/the married men in the office (surprise! my bro was one of them). I have final say and I wouldn't even consider hiring her but I would like to say something
re asking her why she was fired and how she explains it.

u know her but she doesn't know u, guess people's personal lives follow them, and can cost them jobs. just don't act as if u know anything about her, but don't hire her. don't get involved with this, and say a thing to her, could come back on u, she could in some way say u had discriminated against her. u could ask her why she was fired, but chances of u getting an honest answer are slim.

Do not interview her. You can not use this information against her in hiring. It is not your place to say something. It isn't even your business outside of the office even though it feels personal. You could get into trouble if you bring it up during an interview.
By the way, she can't cause problems in anyone's marriage if they don't let her.

You are representing your company when you are interviewing this woman, and should act nothing less than totally professional. The only thing you could ask her is why she left each of her jobs. Don't try to dig up the dirt when you're interviewing her, it could come back to bite you in the butt. You probably shouldn't even be the one interviewing her since you know her, or of her, personally. She could possibly sue your company if she isn't hired stating that you were biased.

I agree with 'Proud to be 51'. You are representing your company in the interview and if you find yourself having difficulty with that position, you should cite a conflict of interest with your boss and be replaced. It is not professional to use personal information against a prospective employee. And trying to make her admit to her past indiscretions is downright dirty.
If the fact that she and your brother were involved is the only thing keeping you from hiring her then the problem lies with you. If she is underqualified or inadequate in some other professional capacity, then you have more reason to not hire her. However, it sounds like your main issue with her is the situation involving your brother, and that is NOT professional.

If the only reason you can come up with to not hire her is because of a relationship she had with your brother and she finds out you'd better be prepared to loose YOUR job. To not hire a fully qualifed person because of YOUR personal differences is considered discrimination. You keep your mouth SHUT about her relationship with your brother because it has NOTHING to do with the job she is interviewing for. If you bring it up and she doesn't get hired she can sue your company based on YOUR personal reasons and YOUR bosses won't like that.

Ask her why she left her last job, if she makes up some lie, then say sorry you dont have the job because we dont hire lyers. If she asks what you are talking about just say you checked her references and you know why she left her last job and you need someone in your place who you can trust. Good luck with the situation.
i forgot to say this...
Dont bring in your brother into it because it would be seen as being personal, but if its just a matter that she lied there is nothing she can do about not getting the job.

True but did you try to stop her? It didn't sound like it. The only good part about it is that you are leaving them along. And you were still cheating on your wife with her mother no less. So you have to take the blame as well.

I'm not sure legally that you should have been given the information that you were given about her being let go. However, you have it and I am assuming you are a manager or supervisor and you need to remember that with that "status" you are expected to hold a professional appearance and attitude regardless of her behavior. You have to treat her like any other candidate. And of course since you have emblazoned your opinions online in a public forum they could possibly be used against you.

Discard her application. You already know about her and why she got fired. Let her wonder why you didn't choose to hire her.
