HIRE GREAT PEOPLE, CONSISTENCY
This online course is for leaders & managers who want to master the hiring process.
If you’ve made bad hires in the past, wasted time interviewing the wrong candidates or felt unsure how to make the right decision, this course is for you.
🚨 The Real Cost of a Bad Hire
Hiring the wrong person isn’t just an inconvenience, it’s a business risk.
In fact, research by the REC (Recruitment & Employment Confederation) found that a bad hire at mid-manager level costs UK businesses an average of £132,000.
That’s not just salary.
It’s lost productivity, wasted management time, training costs, team disruption and the quiet ripple effect that damages your culture long after that person leaves.
And here’s the kicker: 85% of hiring managers admit they’ve made a bad hire at least once.
Most say they knew something wasn’t right during the process, but didn’t have the skills, time or structure to get it right.
This course changes that.
It will teach you the strategies, skills and techniques to make consistency great hires and avoid costly legal mistakes 🎉
