Well, it still depends on why the person voluntarily resign was it for greener pasture that didn't work according to plan I can't trust such a person to stay long with me again

This is something that is understandable because that the worker does not have the good interest of your company at heart but only interested in his own personal growth.

Sure, Some workers are only interested in their own personal gsind like getting paid. They do not have the good interest of your company at heart so no need hiring them again

But the worker was good then Rehiring the former staff wouldn't be a bad idea especially if the person voluntarily resigned so it might means that the person as realize the mistakes

Knowing their motive is very important before you rehire them. If have no bad intentions when coming back of course the best option for you is already hired them.

Since the staff resigned voluntarily, it might be to further his career or do something good. It won't be bad hiring him or her again. However if it's for a bad reason then the chances of taking him back is very low.

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.
Doing away with emotions and engaging in business by involving proper business ethics is very critical.

Business is all about interests and when once a big business drops interests and picks up sentiments, it won't work well for the business. I would have to make a decision like this with the interest of the business in mind.

If the staff left the company or organisation without having any issue with anybody, them definitely
Staff come and go in an organization. Some leave amicably while some leave in controversial circumstances. Supposing a former staff of yours who has resigned voluntarily reapplies to be hired again by the company. Would you rehire such a staff even if there was vacancy.

As for me, when you leave, you have left. You can't come back to the organization. I won't rehire you.

If the staff left the company or organisation without having any issues with anyone in the company, then definitely, if he or she is reapplying I will consider employing the person again, and give them a second chance, and if their leaving the company was official, then there is no reason not to re employ them back again.

If the reason they had to resign initially is something that is not beneficial to your company there is no essence in employing them when they come back again.

It also depends on how such staff leave. If it was a well discussed matter between the staff and management, it is easier for the staff to be rehired. If he or she just ghosted the organization, no way for him.

Why not? if he had a good reason for leaving and is still good at his job I will have him return immediately. The only restriction I will put on him is that if he or she was payed very high I will use that oportunity to diminush the payment and cut off the number of job the later must do.

What if he or she has added value to himself and demands to be paid a higher salary that is the same with what he is collecting in his last place of work.

So you as a business person, do you have the interest of the staff at heart beyond his or her contribution to your business? If our interests match, I would still hire such a staff though.

Yes I would. That man have skills and know job. Maybe he had good reason for quit. It don't have to be always money. It can be family situation or moving into another town. I would never close doors to anybody.

If the employee has enough experience on how to make the business very successful, I will definitely employ him again.

I used to have one before. He didn't even ask permission if he goes out to apply somewhere and he only told me he's leaving. After more than a year he tried to be assigned again to my office but I refused. I told him that I need someone who can perform task on computer. He is now assigned with senior citizens affair
That was not good, he was paid by the local government and then while on duty he left to find another work that's unethical. I'm glad he was not hired back. He's incapacitated

Personally speaking, I will not rehire someone who resigned voluntarily. I would rather choose a new applicant. I cannot deal with these people who cannot be firm with their decisions.
This not the matter of being firm or not. It is a matter of circumstances. There may be a cogent reason why a worker resign and then decided to re-apply again. You have to look at the reason and consider it very well. Also you have to consider the efficiency of the worker as well. A devil knew is better than angel unknown. A worker you knew before is better than new applicant you are bringing in.

The mayor hired him back again and he wanted to be assigned to Treasury, I told. him I cannot accommodate him. because I need computer literate worker and somebody who can drive too.

What kind of mayor is that assigning someone in the treasury despite no caliber. Thankful you're there to stop his ambition to rehire unqualified employee.

As long as they will help during election politicians will hire non competent people, that's the reality in local government. There are even employees here who logs in and out only and alleging they are doing research works, how can they do research works when they're not competent.

Well it depends on the reason for resignation and the value which the staff brings to the company
If the staff resigned because of a better paying job I will rehire him or her
