What the hell is going on in Canfield, Ohio? | Ep. 06
About this episode
The city manager search in Canfield, Ohio raises a lot of questions that must be answered by public sector recruitment firm Baker Tilly.
This is the first recruitment I am aware of where a city manager candidate was subjected to the pseudoscientific quackery of computerized voice stress analysis. It appears to have been at the direction of Canfield Police Chief Chuck Calucci. However, Calucci stated in newspaper articles that Baker Tilly would be the one responsible for the background checks.
I believe Baker Tilly needs to terminate this contract, extricate itself from the situation, and clarify its involvement with this test.
