It is a well known saying that employees are a company’s greatest asset. The theory implies that every single member of your workforce has a positive impact on your success, though we know this is not true. It is in fact only your top performing employees that can make a positive impact, but every employee can make a negative impact…

The recruitment process is arguably the most vital aspect of running a successful business, hiring an employee who perhaps shouldn’t have been employed in the first place can cost a company more than simply valuable time and money.

Consider the following:

  • The stress placed upon the colleagues caused by them having to ‘pick up the slack’ of the bad hire, reducing morale.
  • The Client and/or customer relationships that have been damaged.
  • The loss in productivity.
  • The decrease in sales and therefore profit.
  • The associated costs attached to the hire – HR, Job Advertising, Training etc.

It is near impossible to reduce the consequences caused from a bad hire. No longer can a place within a company simply be found for an underperforming employee, in today’s market place it is important that every single member of staff contributes in order to make the Business competitive.It is definitely more complex and costly in the long run for a company to ‘accommodate’ a member of staff who is not fit for the job, than it is for them to invest in the recruitment of a class candidate. It is important that you don’t simply employ anyone to fill the position, it’s critical to ensure that you take your time and consider each project and candidate carefully so that you recruit the right person for the right job.
