In Episode 24 of The Bad Hire, Ken is joined by Morgan and Corey to break down more unbelievable hiring stories — from candidates who sabotage their own interviews to employees who shouldn’t have made it past day one. This episode dives into the moments where everything seems perfect… until one answer, one action, or one decision completely derails it. You’ll hear: – A candidate who proudly admitted to sabotaging a coworker – An applicant who flipped off their interviewer… and still got the job – A “hostile work environment” that was really just… using a computer – A new hire from Netflix who didn’t show up to work (and asked for remote… pre-COVID) – Why big-name résumés can trick hiring teams – The surprising number of people afraid to share their hiring horror stories publicly These stories aren’t just entertaining — they’re reminders of how quickly red flags can surface and how important it is to trust them. 💸 Think you’ve seen worse?

Key Takeaways: • One answer can completely change an interview outcome. • Red flags often show up when candidates get comfortable. • Big-name companies on a résumé don’t guarantee performance. • Hiring mistakes cost time, energy, and team morale. • Trust your instincts — they’re usually right. ⸻ Connect with Us: 🌐 Website: TheBadHire.com 📧 Email: team@thebadhire.com 📱 Instagram: @thebadhirepod 📘 Facebook: facebook.com/thebadhirepod 🎵 TikTok: @thebadhirepod 💼 LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/thebadhire — Sponsored by BChex: Need better background checks?
