Bad Hiring Decisions Costs Companies Thousands

“Increased recruitment plans for UK firms” Reports the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development (CIPD).

“More employers are expecting to hire new staff over the next three months” – Reveals the latest quarterly report from the Labour Market Outlook (LMO).

Good News

This is the highest level of recruitment since the recession in 2008 and is great for the economy.

Bad News

Failure to background check potential employees can cost companies of all sizes significant time and money. The average cost of a bad hire is currently estimated, at equal to 30% of the individual’s first-year salary. This means a single bad hire with an annual income of £32k can equal a potential £9.6k loss for the employer.

Negligent hiring damages are on the increase. Businesses and organisations are urged to take advantage of cost effective pre-employment background checks. Carrying out pre-employment background checks has become a matter of necessity for employers. Many applicants make false claims on their job applications/CV’s or have been involved in criminal activity which they may not disclose.

Good News

If you want to safeguard and provide a secure workplace and help avoid costly damages, the amount you would pay to background check your candidates is very low compared to the legal fees you could have to pay later.
