Simple: fire her. Also, what you mentioned is a possible scenario for literally every new person you employ. You never know until you give them a chance. And if they've proven to be worthy of getting one, I say let them have it.
True, but interviews are for increasing the chances that the person turns out to be a good one. Otherwise you'd just be pulling anybody off the street and seeing if it worked out.
Also, and this is just a very personal opinion without meaning to offend, but I also think bringing that kind of issue up to the team and thus possibly influencing their decision wether she will get the job or not...well, it seems cowardly. Like a cheap way out of facing someone and telling them no. /shakes head/ Not something I would do, personally. But that's just me.
I think there are negative take aways about my personality regardless lol. As I've said, not inclined to say anything, largely because it is something only I had to deal with and she seems pretty good otherwise. I don't know if she'll get the job yet anyway. It'll probably be her, since I don't think the other woman we gave an offer will actually take it, or will ask for a contract we can't agree on, but it's still a possibility.
Geez Dofu, it's one not so good experience with a person you've literally just met. xD Don't jump to conclusions right away. If she actually gets the job and does try to pursue you, there's still always the chance to talk to her in private and call her out on her behavior. If she doesn't drop it, then I would bring it up to the others. And if it turns out that her trying to go after you isn't the only bothersome thing about her, well then there is no way how either you or anyone else could have known. If she stayed professional throughout the entire interview and nobody had anything bad to say about it, it generally means she can be professional. She might just have a slightly different perspective on it, but that's probably nothing a simple talk wouldn't be able to fix. xD Anyway. Not my decision to make. But like I mentioned: I'd give her a chance first.
Yeah I think everything you're saying is on point for a first encounter with someone you'd potentially be friends with in the future lol. What she did isn't something I'd bat an eye at if it didn't happen with someone I'd potentially work with. Interviews are a fickle process based almost solely on first impression. It's perfectly normal for people to do one thing that ruins an opportunity for them. They move on and get a job elsewhere or stay where they are. These are all people that are currently employed. I've decided against people for what most would probably consider smaller issues; they're just usually related to the person's resume or something more blatantly part of the interview.
