Hiring plans - Don't make these mistakes


For many businesses, the start of a new financial year means new budgets to hire more staff and grow the team.

But before you jump-start hiring, it is important to ensure you have role clarity and an effective hiring process to identify and select the right person.

Role clarity starts with a clear and agreed understanding of the result that you need the new person to achieve. It might take a little time to work out in the beginning, but it is the most powerful step in your hiring. Performia can help you work this out.

A bad hire can cost 2.5 times the employee's salary after taking into account recruiting, replacement and onboarding expenses.

But the problem goes deeper. A strong hire can boost your business' bottom line, reputation and team morale but onboarding a 'bad fit' can do the opposite.

The worst case scenario is that you lose customers and existing high-performing staff, leaving behind a mess that could take management serious time and cost to rectify.

Remember the three ways companies fail at recruitment.

1. Overpaying

2. Paying for hiring the wrong person

3. Using the standard process


The goal of the attraction and screening process is to locate the person that will add more than the required value to the business, be easy to manage and safe for the team.


Good businesses and teams will suffer without the know-how and skills to hire and retain the right people, and build productive teams.
