You’re a part of an interview panel for a unique and pivotal position in your organization and have reached a stage at in which the final choice is between two candidates.

Candidate1 is from outside your organization, matching the essential criteria advertised, and is better qualified than Candidate 2. Candidate 2 is from within your organization and has been in the role of a temporary ‘acting’
