Why this dilemma matters
Moral dilemmas like this expose a gap between what feels principled and what feels workable. Choosing “Hire the desperate candidate — their lie came from need, and their drive may outweigh the deception” prioritises consistency with one rule; choosing “Hire the honest candidate — integrity in the process matters, regardless of personal circumstances” gives more weight to attention to specific consequences.
Worth asking yourself
- What cost are you more willing to accept?
