Plenty of people have been hired with a failed checkride in their past, many with more than 1. The key is to be open and honest about it, take responsibility for what went wrong, and show that you've moved past it. Trying to blame the examiner or other external issues is a no-no, even if it's true. In the end you are responsible for your failures and they want to see you take ownership of it and learn from your mistakes.
