Jiri, imagine you hire someone at the radio station who is later accused some pretty awful workplace harrasment, and it was your endorsement of this individual that got this person hired in the first place.
Do you think there'd be heat on you?

Depends entirely on how I handled the situation.
I would expect the following
- I would be largely judged on how I handled it
- I would be asked and expected to review my personal hiring processes and steps I too to identify any gaps
- I would be expected to report back on those findings and specify how I would ensure it wouldn't happen again.
But no. If I hired someone that ended up being a racist - I don't think there would be a ton of heat on me. Unless I kept that person around.
