The Cost of New Hires
1. Recruiting
Advertisement
The high costs of recruiting include advertisement, which
can cost up to $500 if you want to post to all the major
job boards.
Applicant Tracking
ATS systems are usually charged per user and
recruiting done right requires more than one person
Busy Recruiters
When these individuals are busy they may miss a gem, potentially
costing thousands in opportunity cost.
1. Training Employees
An Investment
Training employees is often the most
expensive investment in the employee.

managers and as hard as they might try, and as sure as they
might be that a candidate is a fit; one never knows.
Most employees won’t reach maximum proficiency for months. So, if you take into account all the cost incurred to find and onboard

are finally profitable for the company, they often aren’t a
profitable hire until six months after the hire date
