Would you rehire a former staff who resigned voluntarily?

Yes, I totally agree with you. Workers like this are usually selfish, loyalty to the company cannot be expected. He could go away whenever he wanted. I hate it happened in my company.
If there's no burning of bridges on both sides, and no stone left unturned, and if the resigned employees shows a good track record and relationships toward every individual in the company, then I would rehire the person who resigned previously. I'm grateful that there are employers that I previously have, that told me that I could return to them whenever I decided to return. And believe me it is a wonderful feelings you will meet such bosses like that.
I believe the first spell is always the best. Second chances don't always turn out well in most situations I see. The person won't be motivated again as before. And he would be feeling like one senior staff. I am not re-hiring please.
It also depends on the degree of contribution the staff will impact on the company.
No matter the impact you have had or would have, I can't take you back if you left my organization to another organization for other benefits they have there. It is not good to even go back to my former workplace.
If there is already a better replacement for that staff, I don't see any reason why this person should be hired to come and do something another person better suited to do the job have already started doing.
If the function of the staff at work is extremely needed, I don't see any reason why I shouldn't re-employ such person.
Well, you need to understand that every individual wants the best for themselves. Seeking greener pasture is actually not a bad thing and if it doesn't work out there is nothing wrong in rehiring such a person. It is not betrayal.
It doesn't work that way. I can never rehire or reemploy someone who left voluntarily. Unless you left peacefully maybe for school or for any other good reason but if you left in anger, there's no coming back.
Of course, leaving for school is also a voluntary resignation. I don't see nothing wrong in that even if you leave for greener pasture. It is all business by the way.

If the person coming back would improve my business, I won't mind taking him back. This is business and not relationship. It is all about what I stand to gain as a business organization.
Probably, it is always important and necessary to remove emotions while doing business. It is all about how to improve your business and not trying to do some relationships.
This is a situation where I would say that it depends on the person who resigned and whether they were an asset to the company or not before they did. If I knew the person well and I knew there was no motive behind them coming back due to another job not working out then I would re-hire them.
If I felt they had a motive which is why they wanted their job back, I would be concerned and would probably turn them down.
