This is one of the hardest to track and easiest to miss but undoubtedly one of the most important costs a bad hire can have. If they weren’t up to scratch then unproductive and poor-quality work may cost you leads, sales and custom satisfaction.
Plus, the ripple effect as your other employees and the rest of the team or department suffer. Being forced to shoulder the extra work load of a vacant position or handholding a poor hire through their rocky employment can have a negative impact on morale and productivity.
Every vacancy carries advertising fees, platform subscriptions and the time of your talent-acquisition team. Even when you tap into employee referrals, there are administrative expenses and incentive schemes to consider.
Underperforming hires still consume slots in mandatory training and the attention of more experienced colleagues. A robust SAP SuccessFactors Learning Management System helps, but only if the right people complete the right modules at the right time.

Machine learning compares role requirements with applicant profiles, boosting fit and speeding up decisions via the SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting dashboard.
Finally, don’t forget to measure your employee experience and recruitment process so can continue to make changes for success. Failure to develop metrics to monitor experience performance can negatively impact ability to attract and hire top talent. Measuring the ROI of the experience can include:
By layering in tools such as the SAP SuccessFactors Performance & Goals module and the Optima by TalenTeam, talent-planning suite, you maintain a continuous feedback loop and ensure that talent stays engaged and aligned.
