The True Cost of a Bad Hire in 2025/bad-hire-cost
Hiring the wrong candidate doesn’t just impact productivity—it drains time, morale, and your bottom line.
💸 According to the U.S. Department of Labor, a bad hire can cost up to 30% of the employee’s annual salary. But in 2025’s tight talent market, that figure is even higher when you factor in lost opportunities, internal disruption, and client dissatisfaction.
🔍 Real Example: A tech staffing firm in Illinois hired a generalist for a specialized DevOps role. The misalignment led to a 3-month delay in product delivery—costing over $200K in missed revenue and rework.
👥 How to Avoid This:
Specialist recruiting partners understand niche roles. They assess both skill and cultural fit—lowering your hiring risk while boosting long-term retention.
