Family Relationship and Recruitment

Umer Bhutta Chartered MCIPD

Assalamualikum everyone

I have a question related to the subject "Family Relationship and Recruitment". 

Can we or Should we look at the family relationship of a candidate whom we are recruiting for the C level or leadership position. Should we not consider anyone for such a leadership role who could not maintain a healthy or successful marriage, or sibling relationships etc. Will such a move be discriminatory? Will such a move be attack on personal life of a person. 

Appreciate if anyone could assist with views on this. 

Regards

Parents

    I am not sure which country you are working in? In the UK, this would absolutely not be acceptable practice - there might be a discrimination angle, but it's just not something that would ever be done.
    What we might do is psychometric tests
    Kind regards
