Consider situation, your employee left your company, joined another, but was fired after couple of weeks. Now he asks you to hire him back. Would you do this? As engineer he is not bad, and your company needs engineers. Thanks

Why Pronouns shit captured US ? I don’t see this anywhere else
Depends on why he was fired
I am going to ask, but I don't believe anyone would like to share such details.
Then you would be taking a huge risk. Nobody is fired in 2 weeks except if they violated a zero-tolerance rule. Examples are: they groped someone, they shared critical customer data, they paid for a prostitute using a corporate credit card, etc.
Depends. What was his motivation to leave? It's a pretty simple equation. If he left for something you can't offer, so if you hire him back he'll leave again. If he left because of money, how much does he want, and is he worth the investment? Unless it works out to "he left for money, and I'm comfortable paying him x% more", then the answer is no.
Well, company is startup type, and currently unstable financially. So I assume he was looking for stability
Why assume when you can ask him straight up?
If you are going to hire him back, make sure he doesn't feel like his hands are tied. Else it will be misery for both of you.
Defer to HR. My answer is no... there has to be a cool-off period.
Quit once. Will quit again.
If you need engineers, why not. Yes, you know he may quit again. This engineer already knows your code base, so needs no ramp up time. You know what to expect from this person work-wise, so if it with it too you, I would rehire. Whatever didn't work at the last company is their problem. It is different if it was a new hire, that you didn't know, the firing would sound like a huge risk.
Thanks, we decided to try rehire
Get him back temporarily and spend time to hire a good candidate for replacement. Same thing to do after giving counter offer.
Agree
I would after rubbing it in. Also, pay him a dollar less.
Don't rub it in.. neither good for you or the employee..
Yes dont do it.
