I am on a specialized team and need to hire a new team member. There are certifications needed for this role, which has been surprisingly hard to recruit for. There is a junior person on my team that has none of the qualifications, from education to experience. She is very likable with upper management, but unpopular with the other team members. Upper management gave me until Monday to find another candidate that they will like better, otherwise I am expected to give her an offer. I haven’t found one and I am full of dread. Any advice on next steps?
