The Cost of a Bad Hire
Cost of Bad Hires: The Hidden Expenses
Making a bad hire can lead to several hidden expenses that may not be immediately apparent. These expenses include the time and resources invested in the recruitment and onboarding process, potential training costs, and the impact on team dynamics. Additionally, a bad hire can result in decreased employee morale, increased turnover, and potential damage to your company's reputation.
The Financial Impact
The financial impact of a bad hire can be significant. According to a survey by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), the cost of a bad hire can range from 50% to 150% of the employee's annual salary. This includes the cost of recruitment, onboarding, training, severance pay, and lost productivity. These expenses can quickly add up, especially for senior-level positions or specialized roles.
