What Chance is There That ImmD Will Grant a Visa to a Foreign National Who Previously Overstayed in Hong Kong by Five-And-A-Half Years?

Overstayed in Hong Kong for a very long time previously…?
Great question this, not so much because the answer is mostly quite obvious, but because it gives me a chance to have a discussion about overstaying generally.
QUESTION
I was looking for a male helper and found a suitable one for our family.
However, he overstayed in Hong Kong and surrendered to the Immigration Department and has now gone back to his country. He overstayed for almost 5 and half years,
He has all the qualifications we are looking for.
My question is: will Hong Kong immigration let him come back if we apply domestic helper visa for him ?
Or we are just wasting our time by applying for a visa for him?
Thanks a lot.
