How FreshHire can help identify the best of the bunch
It might be easy to spot one bad apple in the bunch, but enough of comparing apples to people. It takes longer to detect a bad hire and significant resources are misspent. Money, time, efforts … money.
Fact is, candidates lie on resumes all the time but that does not make them all bad hires. Any good fit can be trained and mentored but bad hires are a financial sinkhole and over long periods of time also have a way of impacting the company environment in a negative manner.
There are monetary and non-monetary costs involved with bad hires:
The cost of hiring a new employee starts with advertising on job portals, which is an expensive ordeal these days. A job market is a competitive place and if you want the best candidates then you need to present yourself as the best workplace, which could mean an extra investment in nap-pods or other attractive incentives. Since applicants aren’t in short supply HR managers take longer to screen and short-list the best of the bunch. Some recruitment tools that help HR personnel include ATS, online assessments, internet sourcing, and video interviews, each adding on to the cost. According to a few reports, the average cost of hire is $4000 and can go up to $5000 for senior-level positions.
To standardize the recruitment process and eliminate the possibility of bad hires Verificient Technologies Inc has rolled out FreshHire.
