Question

Someone who once worked for us sent us an email saying that he is looking for a job and asked to list us as contacts who can recommend him. The problem is that we were not satisfied with him at all. He was regularly late and did not perform his duties properly. How should we act? If we write to him that we do not want him to list us, he will be hurt. On the other hand, it will be difficult for us to respond positively to potential employers.

Answer

Shalom u’vracha 

Try to avoid this. 

It is forbidden to recommend a professional who does not provide the service properly.
