Hired a Psychopath lately?

It's very difficult in the HR world today to walk the fine line between employment discrimination of a candidate truly protected by a psychiatric disability, and making a healthy selection decision for your organization. Tip o' the hat to Kazim Ladimeji for this data-filled article: http://www.recruiter.com/i/how-to-avoid-hiring-a-psychopath/ If you suspect you may be close to hiring a psychopath, consider: How closely does his/her background actually match the requirements? Does the role require managing others? Does the role require some behavior that could be considered outside of the norm? Does your organization have the resources to manage this individual? I am sure that there are many other factors to consider in your circumstances, but do give thought to some of the basics.
