Horrors! Tell us about your worst recruiting disaster
Recruiting disasters: Every HR pro’s had at least one. Now we’d like to hear about yours.

The sales guy who was so great in the interview turns out to be able to sell just one thing: himself. The copywriter who can’t write copy. The lobby receptionist who turns out to have a personality that’s a cross between a crocodile and Attila the Hun.
And those are just examples we personally know of.
So c’mon. ‘Fess up. Tell us about your worst recruiting disaster.
We’ll compile the tales into a future HR Morning post.
