Bad hires cost time and money, and are a headache to deal with.Attracting and identifying good talent is a challenge.It is hard to pinpoint the cause of the weaknesses in the TA process.

Poor talent acquisition outcomes are an acute issue for many organizations. Hiring the wrong candidates is an expensive mistake, costing an organization up to 2x an employee’s annual salary (Source: World at Work) in addition to indirect costs such as lowered employee morale and customer satisfaction. Gather regular feedback and conduct frequent audits of the TA process (branding, sourcing, assessment, and internal talent mobility) to ensure that you are attracting and retaining the best candidates to meet the organizational goals.McLean & Company’s New Hire Survey data proves that improving the candidate experience is crucial to engagement and productivity. Survey respondents who agreed with the statement, “My interviewers made me feel excited to work at this organization” also agreed that they “regularly accomplish more than what’s expected in [their] role” 86% of the time.
