In a competitive talent market, recruiters often have to make rushed decisions. These can lead to the wrong person getting a job — which can be costly mistakes for your business.
In fact, CareerBuilder found that companies lost an average of $14,900 on every bad hire!
Recruiters are the first line of defense for avoiding bad hires. They have a lot at stake every time they fill an open position because a bad hire can hurt a business in a number of ways.
Consider these statistics from a CareerBuilder survey:
- 53% of bad hires brought a negative attitude to the workplace.
- 37% of businesses report a decrease in productivity due to a bad hire.
- Companies lost an average of $14,900 on every bad hire.
As you can see, hiring the wrong person can be extremely detrimental to your organization. For this reason, it’s important that you recognize and correct any errors or bad habits that currently impede your hiring process.
