Performance Factor
It can be difficult to recruit and retain the right employees for your business. How do you know when you’ve gotten the perfect person?
Sadly, hiring the wrong person has real consequences.46% of new hires fail within 18 months, and the cost of a bad hire can reach up to 30% of the employee's earnings.
A lot of times, finding the right person, or ending up with the wrong person, comes down to the hiring process. In fact, according to a study by the National Federation of Independent Business, 87% of HR professionals reported “few or no qualified applicants" for the positions they were trying to fill.
Common hiring mistakes include:
• The interviewer allowing their personal biases to influence their decisions
• The job description attracting the wrong candidates
• Companies and individuals relying too much on their instincts without looking at evidence of the person’s efficacy
• Inefficient hiring practices
• Not properly vetting the candidate to get all of the information that is needed.
