The High Cost of Bad Hires

Hiring the wrong candidate can have a significant negative impact on an organisation. A poor hire doesn’t just waste time and money; it can also affect team morale and overall productivity. For hiring managers, the consequences are particularly serious, as an unsuitable appointment can damage their reputation and credibility among colleagues. Whether due to mismatched skills, cultural misfit, or underperformance, the effects of a bad hire can take months to rectify.
