The cost of a bad hire
isn't what you paid them.

It's everything that should have
happened and didn't.

ASK

YOURSELF

How many times have you filled the same role in the last two years?

What did your last bad hire actually cost you? Not the salary. Everything.

Most owners are off by a factor of five.

THE DIAGNOSIS

The four layers of a bad hire.

Most owners count the salary and stop.

1

The Check

"What was their total comp?"

→ Most owners stop here. They count the salary and call it done.

3

The Swing

"What should they have produced? What's your margin on that?"

→ Expected profit at your margin plus what you spent to keep them. That's the real number. Most owners have never calculated it.

2

The Burden

"Did that include benefits, workers comp, health, vehicle, phone, training?"

→ It never does. Add 40–45% and a $72K salary becomes $100K+.

4

The Ghost Damage

"They carried your name into the market. Called your ideal clients."

→ This part never shows up on any financial statement. Those clients will never call you. You'll never know why.

NOW MULTIPLY

"How many of these have you had in the last three years?"

NET MARGIN

220-PERSON MANUFACTURER · SOUTHEAST U.S.

This company was three months from shutting down. 68% annual turnover. Defect rates at 10%. Daily production at less than half of target. Net margins at 3%.

 

Leadership blamed COVID, generational work ethic, and a shallow talent pool. The real problem was simpler: they were hiring against the wrong criteria, and nobody had built a real system around it.

We rearticulated their values and built complete hiring systems for three roles. No Lean. No Six Sigma. No equipment changes. Just fixing how they hired.

Twelve months later, they were the best-performing facility the parent company owned.

"If fixing how you hire for three roles did that for a manufacturer in crisis, what would it do for your business?"
