      Solution Overview:

      Over the years, much has been said about the cost of a bad hire, which research says can be 3 times the annual salary of the employee.

      Blaming the employee's performance, manager, or other organizational factors do not fully explain why medium to large organizations repeatedly make hiring mistakes for similar roles. Many of the hiring issues are with the hiring and onboarding process itself. The problems can be attributed to factors such as:

      1. A negative organizational attitude to hiring.
      2. Not correctly identifying the role and the talents required for the role.
      3. Biases within the recruiting team causing them to assess the same candidate differently and often making random judgements.
      4. Poor interviewing techniques
      5. Poor relationship building between the new hire and manager starting in the onboarding phase.
