Did you know? The average cost an organization spends on a bad hire is $15,000 according to some studies and up to 30% of the employee’s first-year earnings according to the U.S. Department of Labor. What does this mean for companies? It means that hiring processes can take longer – why? Because somewhere along the line, they’ve had a mishap happen and they are trying to ensure the right hire. But does this always work? Unfortunately no. When hiring processes begin to get drawn out, you start losing quality candidates because another company swoops in and grabs them up. Companies need to start taking this into consideration. So, what does that statistic mean for candidates out there? It means you need to amplify your personal brand – get your resume in top shape to showcase you in your best light, make sure your cover letter presents your ability to fit into the company, and ensure your LinkedIn is well-rounded. By doing these things you can improve your chances of getting hired – and be a Good Hire not a Mishire. If you are a company in need of candidates – we are happy to help improve your hiring process!
