Decision question
Should XYZ Consultants' hiring authority have asked Engineer Intern A directly about prior PE exam attempts before extending an offer conditioned on licensure within 90 days, and does the employer's failure to exercise this due diligence appropriately share moral responsibility for the subsequent trust breakdown — or does it improperly dilute Engineer Intern A's independent honesty obligation?
Focus
XYZ Consultants Hiring Authority: Due Diligence Obligation to Inquire About Prior PE Exam Attempts When Imposing a Licensure Condition of Hire
Option1
Extend the offer without asking about prior PE exam attempts, relying on the candidate's affirmative representations and treating exam history as information the candidate would volunteer if material
Option2
Ask directly about prior PE exam attempts and failures as a standard component of the interview process whenever a licensure condition is imposed, treating this inquiry as a basic due diligence step equivalent to verifying educational credentials
Option3
Require candidates to complete a written pre-employment qualification disclosure form that specifically asks about prior PE exam attempts and results before extending any offer conditioned on licensure, formalizing the due diligence inquiry as a structural hiring practice
Role
