Talent Matters
HIRING THE RIGHT TALENT IS THE CORNERSTONE TO
SUCCESS, NO MATTER WHAT YOUR BUSINESS IS
Hiring the wrong talent is not
only a risk to your reputation
and long-term success – it’s also
pretty pricey. It costs $7,000 to
replace a salaried employee, $10,000 to replace
a mid-level employee and $40,000 to
replace a senior executive, according to statistics
from HR.com. The average cost of
a bad hiring decision can equal 30 per cent
of the individual’s first-year potential earnings,
says the U.S. Department of Labor
and Statistics. And 66 per cent of employers
said they experienced negative effects
of bad hires in 2012. Of these employers,
37 per cent said the bad hire negatively
affected employee morale, found the
National Business Institute.
When it comes to hiring the right HR
talent, professionalism matters. Hire

HR, can help with that. An HRPA member
exclusive service, only members can
