The Hidden Costs of Not Hiring Quality Employees

Posted December 26, 2017

Making the wrong hiring decision is not only disappointing; it can also be incredibly expensive.  It's a common conundrum. In their haste to fill a void, hiring managers feel rushed to make a hire. Even the most conscientious professionals make hiring mistakes.  An impressive resume and outstanding interview can easily overshadow indicators that a prospective employee might not be a good fit for the organization or the position.

Controlling Costs

Salary and benefits are not the only costs associated with hiring quality employees. Onboarding and training a new employee can eat up precious time and resources. In fact, the average expense of hiring and training that employee is estimated to fall at around two-and-a-half times the combined annual salary and benefits budgeted for a specific position.

When an employee is responsible for decreased morale, production or customer service, it can cost an organization even more. On the other hand, just because an employee is talented and hard-working doesn't mean that they're a good fit for every role. It's not uncommon for organizations to find themselves caught in a cycle of high turnover and ever-increasing costs.

Hire Smarter with Science

As more employers embrace technology and scientifically-based hiring practices, the risk of making a bad hire is decreasing. With such high stakes, however, it's important for organizations to use every tool at their disposal to make the right choice. This is where the XFACTOR fits in.
