Hiring isn’t easy. A good hire takes your team to the next level, while a bad hire costs way more than you bargained for. The U.S. Department of Labor reports the average cost of a bad hire is at least 30 percent of the employee’s first-year earnings.

But money isn’t the only cost. Think about lower team morale, lower productivity, damaged client relationships, even diminished reputation to your brand!

Spooky is in the air, but hiring doesn’t have to be scary – not if you do your homework!

This month we show you how to avoid a bad hire and an infiltration of sales phonies. We also talk about how to use behavioral interviewing tactics throughout the selection process to increase your odds of a great hire. In our on-demand webinar, Wendy Sheaffer further builds upon hiring tips with insightful strategies.

October is also manufacturing month. As manufacturers seek to fill 4.6 million high-skill, high-tech, and high-paying jobs over the next decade, we demonstrate how our assessments support their hiring decisions and retention strategies.

Don’t let the hordes of bad zombie hires scare you. Have a plan, and don’t hire in a rush. Here’s witch-ing you a spook-tacular Halloween! See you next month.
