What happens when a candidate lies in an interview… fails the background check… and then accidentally leaves a 10-minute voicemail screaming at her dad?

In Episode 25 of The Bad Hire, Ken is joined by Emma and Corey to react to more outrageous hiring stories — from accidental email disasters to interviews that should’ve never happened in the first place.

This episode is full of moments where one small mistake turns into a massive problem.

You’ll hear:

– A candidate who forgot to hang up… exposing everything on voicemail

– A call center applicant afraid of phones, computers, and learning

– A hiring mistake that accidentally accepted every applicant named Kevin

– A redemption story that proves the right company can change someone’s life

– A training mishap that triggered fire trucks at 3AM

– Why honesty (or lack of it) can make or break your chances

These stories aren’t just funny — they reveal how quickly things can go wrong when details are overlooked or integrity is missing.
