The iceberg you don’t see: what a bad hire really costs. At HR Savaitė Lietuva, Alliance for Recruitment partner Andrius Francas (he/him) ran the numbers — and the total costs can reach up to 1.5x the new hire’s annual salary.
We typically only count the tip: the agency fee, TA team work hours, the job ads, the tools, etc. Below the waterline sits the real bill — the manager’s time, onboarding, months of underperformance, eroding team morale, worse quality, and lost client trust. And that’s before reputation, which hits hardest at leadership level.
The good news? A bad hire is preventable — with properly prepared hiring managers, realistic role expectations, a fast and well-shaped process, in-depth onboarding, and honest weekly feedback sessions to catch and correct any issues at the early stage.
One of the surest ways to avoid the iceberg? An experienced recruitment partner to screen your candidates and guide you through the whole recruitment process.
