Narrative:
We were on the ILS [approach]. Weather conditions were variable winds. Approach was normal and stable. Landing was hard due to insufficient flare by the first officer. The firm landing resulted in a bounce back in the air; after which I took the aircraft from the first officer and recovered the landing. A go-around was not performed due to our very low proximity to the runway; the aircraft being in a good position for a second proper touchdown; and in my opinion a go-around could have resulted in a possibly worse outcome than a full landing.
