Have you ever made a wrong hiring decision? You’re not the only one.
Research shows that 30% of managers would not re-employ their most recent new recruits. They admit that somehow they got it wrong in the selection process!
Did you know that hiring the wrong person could cost twice the person’s salary?
Because of wasted training time, poor customer service, increased learning curve, mistakes in production, and your existing team becoming de-motivated and resentful.
