Hey guys,

I am really freaked out and suspicious about whether i should hire this person.


Here's the situation:
I am currently hiring a door-to-door marketing/sales representative (just to work with me for a couple of hours and to test out if the business model works) and I am interviewing an applicant which is probably at least 50 years old and he has lots of entrepreneurial experiences. He says he is semi-retired.

He has owned a restaurant, build houses, wholesale distributor, selling ice cream and a ton of a lot more random experiences.

My question is -
1) Is he trying to steal my business idea and get an idea if the business works?
2) Since he has owned and sold his businesses - why is he still looking for this type of entry level job?

Should I hire this guy??
