From absurd interview moments to new hires gone rogue, Bad Hire is where real people share real stories of hiring gone hilariously wrong. It’s raw, it’s revealing, and every episode reminds us what not to do when building a team.

About The Bad Hire Podcast

Meet Your Host: Ken Monroe

CEO. Screening expert. Reluctant hiring myth-buster.

Ken Monroe is the CEO of Bchex and the mind behind Context-Based Hiring. With over 40 million background screens and partnerships across schools, nonprofits, and Fortune 500 companies, Ken brings a sharp eye for risk, a deep understanding of hiring systems, and a belief that better hiring starts with better context.

The Bad Hire is where Ken shares the insights he’s gained along the way—stories from the field, frameworks that work, and candid conversations with other leaders who’ve learned (sometimes the hard way) how to build great teams.

Through it all, Ken’s goal is simple: help you become a Screening Hero—someone who protects their people, builds strong culture, and hires with integrity.
