We May Already Know Your Next Employee

Let's face it, no hiring manager is excited to spend money on recruiting services. But, what is the true cost of searching for your next employee? What is your time truly worth, especially if you make a bad hire?

Salary, benefits and hiring expenses usually come to mind first when we think about the cost of hiring the wrong employee. There’s the time spent creating and posting job listings, sifting through resumes, making calls, conducting interviews and background checks, and performing any technical assessments. And as we know, time is money. Companies also invest in paperwork, technology, training and more during the on-boarding phase.

Of course, we can’t forget the actual salary and benefits package you may have extended to this (now former) employee. Generally, estimates show that these costs are between 1.3 and 1.5x that employee’s salary. So for example, the cost to make a bad hire and onboard a mid-level software developer could be anywhere from $90,000 to $105,000+.

And that’s just for one bad hire.

We have the luxury of "knowing" the candidates we're considering for an opening, either because we have worked with them in the past or we have a relationship with a friend or colleague. Yes, many times we already know your next employee. This gives us confidence knowing the candidate can do the job, will be a stable, loyal employee and will be a good fit for your corporate culture.
