With rising economic uncertainty and shrinking profit margins, organizations can ill afford the cost of placing "poor fit" candidates into critical roles. According to a just released study by The Recruiting Roundtable:
- Only 50% of all new hires are the right fit for their jobs
- Only 29% of organizations consistently acquire talent that is a good fit for the organization.
- Today, nearly 10% of new hires turn over within six months, at an average cost of more than US$26,000 per employee.

I don't agree with the figure. It is more like $2,500 - $4,000 per employee - not $26,000!
