Should I consider if I like a job candidate when I am making decision to employ?

[King Belieal]

It is true that a person can just see someone and not just like the person. Bring it to a business owner that is trying to employ a staff.

If a candidate comes to apply, and he or she has all the technical qualifications but the business owner doesn't just like him or her. Is that a valid reason to turn down that candidate?

I don't think it's a valid reason cause at the end of the day, your business has an identity of it's own. So if there is no valid reason why you don't like this person, as long as you know they will greatly benefit the business, you have to employ them.

There's nothing wrong with that. Provided you are sure that the person would automatically fit into the job

I'd reject employee who doesn't interest me because if the soul is absent at work, there is no place to live.

It is most times important to go for the one that has the potential to deliver not just liking the person

That's emotions. Just go for the candidate that you are sure has the capacity. Not the one you love.
