How Much Are Bad Hires Costing You?

Like most people, you're probably amazed at the costs of a bad hire. Especially when you consider that this number represents only a fraction of the true costs. Additional costs that are harder to quantify include:

  • severance pay
  • time spent by the individual's manager to fix problems
  • loss of productivity from the team
  • quality problems that impact revenue
  • dissatisfied or lost customers
  • loss of expertise/knowledge
  • legal clams from disgruntled workers
  • negative impact on employer brand
  • time spent by HR handling employee complaints
  • time spent by HR processing termination paperwork 

Clearly, organizations lose far more than time, money, and effort by recruiting, interviewing, onboarding, and training individuals who should not have been hired to begin with.
