Experience tells us that recruiting early talent should be taken as seriously as recruiting a CEO. Any recruitment decision is an investment in the future success of your organisation and it should be the utmost responsibility of the hiring team to recruit the most talented individuals. The cost of making the WRONG hire can be more than financial. It could result in;
- Depleted recruitment budgets
- Wasted time
- Poor reflection on your management team
- Damaged employee relations and team morale
- Theft or embezzlement
- Negative reviews eg. Glassdoor
- Endangerment of colleagues, clients and associates
- Lost productivity
- Legal repurcussions
- Public scandals and negative publicity
