The Profession
Minimize Risk
Shareholder confidence, organizational effectiveness, and employee engagement are just a few of the immediate benefits of the right hire. However, the risks associated with an unsuccessful hire can be catastrophic. Widely cited research indicates that nearly half of new CEOs don’t make it past 18 months, and the costs of replacing them are staggering.
The cost of a bad hire can include:
Compensation packages
Duplicated recruiting investments for the replacement
Lost momentum
Economic uncertainty for shareholders
Instability in customer/client relationships
Diminished employee morale
