One of the difficult aspects of recruiting new employees is the fact that your current employees may recommend their friends and even their family members for open positions. This can lead to some issues, especially if you find that the friend or family member is not qualified or is not the best candidate for the job. This can lead to your current employee getting angry at you or your HR department for not hiring their friend or relative.
What can you do in this case? Well, it can make for a stressful work environment, and if you notice this happening, the best thing to do is to privately discuss the matter with the employee. Stress that there is no reason to be angry at the person who did get the position—it is not their fault, after all, that they were hired over someone else. Do not, however, discuss the actual reason this candidate was hired. That is none of the employee’s business. In fact, you shouldn’t discuss the reasons why the employee’s friend/family member wasn’t hired. That is, likewise, information that should be kept between the person and you. All you should need to do is remind the employee to act professionally. If the situation continues, then you may have to take further disciplinary steps.
