A bad hire is more expensive than most organizations realize. Beyond salary, it impacts productivity, morale, and long-term growth.
In 2026, companies can no longer afford mis-hires—and smarter screening is the solution.
Lost productivity
Team disruption
Rehiring and retraining costs
Damage to employer brand
Studies show a bad hire can cost 30–50% of the employee’s annual salary—sometimes more.
Common causes include:
Rushed hiring decisions
Resume-led screening
Lack of role-specific evaluation
Inadequate vetting
Traditional hiring processes often prioritize speed without accuracy—or accuracy without speed.
Modern hiring focuses on:
Skill validation
Contextual evaluation
Shortlisting accuracy
AI accelerates screening, while human experts ensure depth and alignment.
