I'm hiring for a contract position through an agency. We're a small investment company. The agency sent me the resume of a candidate that looked great on paper. However, after reading more closely I realized that I once had a couple of one night stands with the candidate. He was a nice enough guy, but had an alcohol problem and things did not end well (I had to ask him to stop contacting me after our second date.) This was 5+ years ago, so maybe he's changed. However, I am inclined to "pass" on him. What valid reason can I give, if any?
It's the very first resume the agency sent me, so in some ways it makes sense to wait until I see more resumes. That said, I don't think we'll have a huge pick of candidates in this job market.

Interesting thought. I could just pass without giving a reason. Other colleagues are aware of this contractor's resume, but I am in charge of the process and running it on my own. So maybe your suggestion is feasible.

It's not appropriate to screen them, but it is appropriate for you to recuse yourself from his hiring process.
