The vetting process for finding a candidate is tedious – and costly. Investopedia estimates companies, by the time a full-time employee is hired and fully trained and performing, invest anywhere from 1.5 times to 3.5 times the employees’ salary. These costs include benefit start-up costs, training, on-boarding and ramp up to an employee being full-responsibilities ready. The Investopedia article titled ‘The Cost Of Hiring A New Employee’ goes on to mention the hefty price tag of actually figuring out whether that employee is a good fit after being hired. Great Hire Staffing does this vetting for you. When it is a temporary employee or a contractor, the costs of these initial hire growing pains like background and criminal checks are absorbed by the firm itself as well as the benefits and sometimes training. And if the hire doesn’t fit, firms guarantee a replacement – insuring your company will find the right candidate.
