I have been through this situation many a times in my previous roles - Dealt with each situation on a case to case basis, with the following steps as the basic guideline: Screen the candidate's resume to check suitability against any existing vacancies.
Then Screen the candidate through the same thorough evaluation process/tests as all the other candidates.
This ensures that all candidates are treated alike, irrespective of their reference or source.
If and only if the person has cleared the evaluation process/tests, put him/her forward to a neutral interviewer who can evaluate if the candidate is suitable for the role/position/company.
Ensure that the Senior Management is informed about the referred candidates status at the end, based on feedback received by the interviewer

Dear Mr.
Zubair After you short list the people evaluate them through any of the Assessment tools and announce that you will hire the top scores (but take care he might help them also in getting better scores so do not share the assessments and the right answers with anyone) .
Then after you get the scores submit a scores report and the people who should be hired and raise this report to the top management.
If he is the owner and still pushing to hire a lower score person write down an official letter that’s says that he choose this person on his own responsibility and make him sign it and by this way he can not get back to after a while and says this person is not achieving

Recruiters can always overcome any personal decision by preparing a job description and detailed personal objectives for any new or existed vacancies, so they can use it effectively later in the recruiting process after they announce the vacancies opening.
Also involving different levels and parties in the interviewing process can add several professional feedbacks far from any unprofessional selection factors.

In an organization where a clear recruitment process is followed, there is no real place for nepotism.
However if a senior manager favors a particular candidate, it would be a good idea to diplomatically suggest that the candidate goes through the actual recruitment process and meet other senior managers as well to assess suitability for the role.
Explain how it always proves valuable to hire a suitable candidate for the job, rather than hire and fire in a short period.

Hiring friends and family to work for you in your business.
basically if you're a senior recruiter at any company.
you should have went through referrals program and you may pass by a case of a family or friend.
professionally whether if he/she is not qualified; you will be able to mention that he/she is not the desired profile or not applicable applicant.
and if the case that this profile is qualified, i assure their presence in the assessment and the recruitment process if he/she passed then i will consider having them on board.
if not, i will share it with the person who in a relation to this profile.
yet uncomfortable situations are exacerbated ten fold and compensation issues can be awkward.
Plus, when family issues come up necessitating time off, it can present interesting issues.
And what about those sick days that people sometimes tell little white lies about? All of these need to be considered.
In the end, it’s up to you.
My personal take is there is too much that can get in the way of good business and good business decisions.
Entire days can be lost fretting over feelings, emotions, and issues that otherwise don’t belong in the workplace.
I’m open to the fact that certain businesses and industries would be a good fit for the family and friend employee-employer relationship.
I look forward to your comments.
There are good things and bad things about working directly with your friends and family members.
Consider these pros: you may not need to do a background check you have an idea of whether or not they’re lying on their resume you already know if you can stand to see their face on a daily basis (and maybe you can’t, but at least you know that in advance) you have an idea of their reliability their personal references are probably your references Cons too much family is usually not a good thing monetary discussions will ALWAYS be awkward firing family and friends for some small business owners is impossible…they’ll let the business go under first friends and family may assume ‘special privileges’ and take advantage of you friends and family may intentionally or unintentionally undermine your leadership with other employees by not taking you seriously

Many things other than this may affect your decision, you just stick to the hiring criteria and don't let any thing affect your decision

As an HR personnel, I would be surprised but never will I be affected by the influences given to me by a senior employee.
I am an HR personnel and this is my expertise.
Other people may recommend but we should (as HR) not be influenced by this nature.
It is our responsibility to get the right people at the right time to the right jobs.
Otherwise, ethical concerns may come in which will hurdle us from performing our job well..
