Hiring the wrong person can be costly, both in the amount of time spent on the job search and in lost productivity
for the company. The Center for American Progress estimates those costs (both in money spent and productivity
lost) can add up to around 16% of the person’s salary for hourly workers. That number can go as high as 213%
for a highly trained position. And the Harvard Business Review reported that up to 80% of employee turnover can
be attributed to poor hiring decisions.
