In research released this morning, CareerBuilder says more than half of employers in all of the world’s 10 largest economies report detrimental effects from hiring the wrong person, either in noticeable hits to productivity or revenue or in employee morale or client relations.
Sixty-six percent of U.S. employers report a bad-fit employee has had a measurable negative impact, which was conducted by Harris Interactive late last year. More than 6,000 hiring managers and human resources personnel from the countries with the 10 biggest gross domestic products were surveyed. France reported the lowest level of instances, with 53%; Russia was highest with 88%.
