The True Cost of a Bad Hire Will Shock You
A bad hire is more than an inconvenience. It's a significant financial drain that goes far beyond a wasted salary and new recruitment fees.
It’s the lost productivity, the domino effect on team morale, and the hidden hours your management team spends trying to fix the problem. According to a landmark report by the REC, 85% of HR decision-makers admit their business has made a bad hire.
The true cost? The same report found that a single bad hire for a mid-manager role (with a £42,000 salary) can end up costing a business over £132,000.
Don't guess. Calculate your real cost.
