New Report: The Hidden Costs of a Bad Hire

Moscow, Idaho (Newsworthy.ai) Wednesday May 10, 2023 @ 7:00 AM Pacific —

RedBalloon released a groundbreaking report that outlines the hidden costs of a bad hire – costs that go beyond the average price tag of nearly $21,000 dollars unwinding a bad hire.

“A bad hire impacts workplace culture like a match to dynamite,” said Andrew Crapuchettes, CEO of RedBalloon. “But businesses are falling into the ‘availability fallacy’, as HR teams increasingly overlook fatal flaws in the only available applicants in this tight labor market.”

A plurality of employers have reported lost productivity, compromised quality of work, and negative workplace morale as being amongst the steepest costs of a bad hire.

Other contributing factors to modern-day workplace upheaval are the 60% of American workers who are afraid to speak up in the workplace, record low employee engagement, and a stunning 96% of workers who say that they are looking for a new job in 2023.

“There’s an absolute correlation between the high number of employees who are unhappy and disgruntled in the workplace, the high number of employees saying their looking for a new job, the tight labor market, and the rapid increase in bad hiring costs,” continued Crapuchettes. “The entire ecosystem of the American workplace is being turned on its head, and we’re seeing survey numbers about lack of engagement, lost productivity, and overall dissatisfaction between employees and employers – numbers that are off-the-charts.”
