For Hiring Managers

Bad Hire Calculator

Most companies underestimate the true cost of a bad hire, and it’s rarely just about salary.

This calculator is designed to help hiring managers understand the broader impact of a mis-hire, including time, lost momentum, and strain on teams. It’s not meant to scare, it’s meant to bring clarity to the stakes involved in hiring decisions.

Better awareness leads to better decisions.
