Dilemma:

You are the manager of a small company and are interviewing someone for a job as a researcher. All the other researchers in your company have a degree. The person you are interviewing has said on their CV that they have a degree, but you know this person from your school (they don’t recognise you) and you know they left school at sixteen with no qualifications. However, by the answers they gave to your questions, you also think that this person is able to do the job. What would you do?
