A single bad hire can derail projects, damage morale, and drain thousands from your budget before you’ve even realised what went wrong.
Research consistently shows that a bad hire can cost a business anywhere from 30% to over 200% of that employee’s annual salary when you factor in recruitment fees, lost productivity, management time, and the knock-on impact on team performance.
To help construction and industrial businesses understand this risk, Prime Workforce offers a free bad hire calculator that quantifies exactly what a poor placement costs your organisation. Simply input your role details and the tool produces a detailed cost breakdown tailored to your business.
The data often makes the case for partnering with a specialist agency — where quality screening reduces costly mis-hires from the outset.
