If you have recently made a mistake with whom you chose to join your team, don’t worry, you're not alone. Nearly 85% of employers admit they have been affected by a bad hire. Most companies in the Safety/PPE & Tools sector have made this error, and that is where Safe Search comes in. We are an International Safety Recruitment and Headhunting Business for the PPE/ Safety & Tools Industry, and we can help eliminate the chance of damaging your business with a bad hire.
On average, companies lose time and money for every bad hire. Whether you operate out of Germany, the UK, or South America, making an error in your hiring process and picking the wrong candidate for the job can have a significant financial impact on your business.
89% of head-hunters say bad hires usually lack soft skills. These are typically underrepresented on CVs, as the focus is on the candidate’s experience and education. Unless the candidate shows up late to the interview, it can be difficult to judge punctuality, and it is tough to determine their work ethic before you employ them. Safe Search conducts interviews
95% of employers confirm that a bad hire affected their team's stress levels. Your pocket isn’t the only vital part of the business that can be diminished by the wrong person working for you. While the person is still employed, their shortcomings (anything from lack of experience to terrible leadership skills) can cause a ripple effect across the entire office. Those who have to do extra work to pick up after the bad hire will become increasingly more strained.
With increasing stress levels comes a huge decrease in morale. A bad hire who has a negative attitude and doesn’t work well with their colleagues can impact the work environment and cause employees to enjoy working less. If this is particularly severe or continues for an extended period of time, there is a chance that your previously happy employees could start looking for a new place to work. This is where Safe Search Headhunters step in. If your staff are happy they don't get headhunted. Losing one employee to being Head-Hunted is pretty common, whereas losing multiple is a company issue. The roles are usually the same wherever people work, it's the culture and atmosphere that causes people to move.
Safe Search carefully matches the candidates to the opportunity by investing time into each candidate, we aim to meet all candidates face to face and discuss what some employers may find irrelevant in the initial interviews they may have. Things like pet peeves, habits and culture they prefer. We also like to discuss family and financial needs.
39% of businesses say that productivity in the office typically decreases significantly after a bad hire. Your employees will be considerably less productive if someone is distracting them or disturbing the flow of work with their sub-par performance. This can quickly translate into a financial loss for your company, as the work that makes the money is not being done as quickly or to the same standards.
