You Don't Need More Applicants. You Need the Right One.

Ever hired someone and realised 4 weeks in… you've made a mistake?

It's more common than you think - and far more expensive than most realise.

A bad hire doesn't just affect output. It slows delivery, drains morale, and often pushes your best people to breaking point.

Here's what a bad hire really costs:

  • Lost time and productivity

  • Team frustration and disengagement

  • Training and onboarding wasted

  • Projects delayed or off-brief

  • Reputational risk with clients

The dollar figure? Easily $10K - $30K. The opportunity cost? Much higher.

Hiring fast can feel like progress, but hiring well protects your business.

That's why I spend hours on the detail before submitting a candidate. The brief, the culture fit, the hiring process - every step matters.
