Once the bad hire has been resolved, the recruitment process has to be repeated, incurring more costs and internal time. Any training and development spend on the outgoing employee will also be lost. Wrongful dismissals can also be costly at the Labour Court or CCMA. This is why it is even more important to invest in the recruitment process up front. A business would conduct extensive and high quality due diligence before entering into a business deal. Not only does employing the wrong person have serious financial implications, but it can also have an impact on the organization as a whole as well as the team members and team dynamics. • Added Value Service: As an added value to our staffing solutions, we collaborate with a team of HR & IR specialists who are available to assess your business.
