The True Cost of Traditional Hiring

Hiring the right talent is crucial—but are you paying more than you should to find and retain great employees? Consider the costs:

  • Turnover: The average cost of replacing an employee can be up to two times their salary.
  • Recruiting: Advertising, job boards, and recruiter fees can add thousands to your hiring budget.
  • Training and Onboarding: The time and resources spent bringing new hires up to speed drain productivity and impact your bottom line.

What if you could build a highly skilled, reliable workforce while reducing costs and improving retention?
