If they are no longer under treatment and are released with no restrictions to performing their job, then your probably o.k. You do run the risk of them being re-injured but no more of a risk then other people that have been hired with a previous claim that no one knew about; or even a a person who has never had a claim.
Is this a question that you have on your application for employment?
