The candidate was bordering on 60 years of age. An ideal age for executive level applicants.
The candidate brought his sister into the interview.
Oh boy!

Clearly not, But that's stunningly stupid, no matter what the applicant wanted.
I'd say either the man is babysitting his clearly failing sibling, or he's incredibly insecure, or she's a domineering smotherer. All three good reasons for giving him a pass.
The sister gave me rather a harsh sudden outburst midway through the interview. Odd. She'd clearly been supressing something the whole time, & finally she burst.
The sister wasn't particularly sharp.
The lack of judgement/awareness exhibited by bringing his sister along manifested itself in lots of other ways. There wasn't any doubt he was totally unsuitable for the position.
