I called AK and explained the situation and apologized prophetically. AK thanked me for the update, appreciated my integrity for the tough call and succinctly said that person would be blacklisted from ever interviewing at DAL. I have since recommended 2 others who've both been selected. Had I not made the first call subsequent candidates that I wanted to recommend may have been tainted.
Doesn't OC's department control hiring now?
