Recruitment issues : the cost of a bad hire…

“Bad pick” atmosphere.🧐
As well as leading to a huge waste of time, recruitment failures can cost much more than you might think. And we’re not just talking about money… Bad news.

Casting error: the cost of poor recruitment

On average, a recruitment mistake can cost a company up to twice the annual salary of the employee in replacement and reintegration expenses, varying by position and level of responsibility.

Yet, these figures only scratch the surface. The real cost lies in its effect on the organisation’s balance: a recruitment failure can destabilise team dynamics, disrupt corporate culture, and even harm employee mental health.

Nearly 60% of managers admit to a drop in productivity and commitment, coupled with an increase in stress and anxiety in their teams after a wrong casting.
As professionals, proud to accompany job seekers and talent scouts, we regularly witness these disappointing situations.
That’s why we want to :
– raise awareness of the consequences of a common ‘bad recruitment’,
– and emphasise the importance of ‘taking care’ of the issues as well as the people.

The correlation between a well-prepared working environment and good recruitment management is no longer in doubt. So GO!🍀

How can you avoid mistakes and recruitment failures?

To avoid unsuitable recruitment, it is important for both companies and candidates to follow these successive steps.

• identifying your needs: understanding your needs and your corporate culture ;
• structuring a recruitment process: establishing a structured selection methodology, including clearly defined stages, interview stages, a timetable, role-playing exercises and the possibility of a ‘Diagnosis + Performance’ assessment service;
• define a job and a precise profile: define the responsibilities and functions of the job, define a typical profile of the corresponding candidate, including the skills and soft skills that are essential for the job;
• selecting the best profiles, taking into account the company’s culture: confirming that the ideal candidate is consistent with the organisation’s values and ambitions in order to validate the fit between the various parties;
• emphasising the importance of onboarding: structuring and implementing a comprehensive onboarding programme to facilitate the integration of new recruits;
• call on recruitment experts: work with specialist recruitment consultants to benefit from their expertise, their knowledge of the sector and the market, and their outside view.

Following this methodology won’t guarantee everything, but it will give you every chance of success!

Why use a tailor-made recruitment agency?

Investing in a tailor-made recruitment process is a key lever for ensuring a serene, productive and ambitious future: it means betting on greater commitment from employees in general, and capitalising on the human and financial value of the organisation already in place; it means ensuring that the skills and values of the candidate and the company are respected and genuinely compatible.
