The financial implications of bad hires are staggering. Research indicates a new hire costs over $4,000 even before factoring in wages and salary, covering expenses like job board postings, recruiter time, and candidate evaluations. When you include comprehensive compensation packages—healthcare coverage, retirement matching, payroll taxes—the U.S. Small Business Administration estimates the total cost rises to approximately 1.25 to 1.4 times the position's base salary. This investment becomes particularly concerning when considering the onboarding timeline. Depending on role complexity and the new hire's experience level, it may take three months to a full year before an employee becomes fully productive and begins generating positive returns. If that individual leaves prematurely, before recouping these costs, your organization faces not just the sunk costs of the initial hire but the added expense of starting the process again.
