Seeking a New Career?

It’s essential to hire for fit and plan for retention.

Hiring the wrong candidate can be an incredibly costly mistake. At an estimated loss of tens of thousands per employee, the expense of a failed hire adds up quickly. It’s just as devastating when an employee decides you’re not the right fit.
