A bad hire doesn’t just cost money. It impacts the whole team. While you’re trying to make it work, your team is picking up the slack. It slows progress, adds pressure, and creates more work for everyone else. Productivity drops and good people start feeling it too. Then comes the reset…hiring again, training again, starting over again. The real cost of a bad hire isn’t just the salary. It’s everything that gets disrupted along the way. Bad hires are expensive. The right ones aren’t. As Bob and Simon explain in the video below, getting it right the first time makes all the difference. Speak to us at Mexa and build a stronger team!

Here we see the Mexa recruiters, emerging from their natural habitat of desks, screens, and coffee machines… venturing outdoors in search of sunshine and snacks. To celebrate Sir David Attenborough’s 100th birthday, the team are swapping office chairs for picnic blankets and heading to the lakes for a well-earned Friday lunch in the fresh air. A chance to slow down, enjoy nature, and spend time together outside the office, something Sir David has inspired generations to appreciate. Happy Friday!
