Making a Sustainable Hire

In today’s fast-paced business world, companies are tempted to fill open roles quickly. This occurs particularly when operations are under pressure. This rush in the recruitment process often leads to costly mistakes, from poor performance to early turnover. Hiring a candidate who underperforms will costs your company monthly pay, training investment, and HR time.

Moreover, terminating and replacing a bad hire can cost up to 30–50% of the role’s annual salary (Schooley, 2024). This raises an important question: What are the potential solutions to mitigate seemingly ‘quick & cost-effective hires’, yet redundant hires?

This is where HR consultancies come into play. Our job is to balance urgency with precision, filling roles fast without compromising fit.
