Making the right hire is no longer purely a case of matching someone with a technical specification and job description. It is increasingly leaning towards finding someone with the same cultural aspirations, the same approach to work as the employer company and someone who can add value not only to a job but also to the development of a company’s personality.
For employers, the cost of making the wrong hire can be between 3 and 5 times an employee’s annual salary, while for specialist functions the cost can be up to 10 times their annual salary. *
