A BAD hire costs 2x the salary. Most managers never sees the hidden damage.
Let's say you hire someone for $25K/year.
But the candidate underperforms and is kicked in 6 months.
Here's what it actually costs you:
Recruiting fees: $3,000
Onboarding: $4,000
Salary (6 months): $12,500
Manager's time: $5,000
Team coverage: $8,000
Lost productivity: $7,500
Replacement hire: $6,000
Total: $46,000. For a $25K hire.
Scale that to an $80K mis-hire , you're looking at $140Kā$180K worth of damage.
74% of managers have made a bad hire. Most never track the real damage.
And as AI is growing, Teams are getting smaller, so every hire matters more. One bad hire isn't just costly, it can seriously hurt the whole team
The question isn't if it'll happen. It's whether you can afford it.
