The U.S. Department of Labor estimates a bad hire costs roughly 30% of that employee's first-year salary.

Multiply that by two or three cycles, and you're not just dealing with a personnel problem. You're absorbing compounding losses in morale, productivity, and leadership that don't announce themselves until they're already expensive.

The uncomfortable part? Most bad hires happen because the process was flawed long before the interview started. Usually at a whiteboard, in a 15-minute conversation between two managers who agreed they "needed someone for this."

We wrote a full guide on how to hire the right people, from defining the role before you post anything to making an offer that actually closes. https://www.4cornerresources.com/blog/how-to-hire-the-right-people/
