The Cost of a Bad Hire

Apart from the traditional costs of a bad hire, which include recruiting costs, training investments, and supervisory coaching time, a bad hire in a customer contact job will have a direct impact on customer retention. Customers who are ill treated leave for competitors.

Fred Reinheld, author of The Loyalty Effect: The Hidden Force Behind Growth, Profits and Lasting Value, estimates that the average company loses 50% of its customers in 5 years. Think of what just a small improvement in customer retention could mean to your bottom-line profits! (Reinheld suggests that a 5% improvement in retention would result in a 25% increase in profits for most organizations.)

If you include lost production, supervisor time, hiring and training costs, equipment failure, and poor service to customers, the cost of a bad hire can be minimally estimated by Hourly rate X 400. Even at $6.00 an hour, the cost of a bad hire is at least $2400!
