The Cost of a Bad Hire

"The biggest category of mistakes is in hiring," says Tony Hsieh (CEO of Zappos.com). Today's leading business experts are discussing the importance of hiring decisions because a bad hire can lead to the downward spiral of a company's valuable resources and culture.

Hsieh declares that he is "willing to sacrifice the short term benefits for the long term gains." Whether or not a candidate shows excellent qualifications on paper, if they do not fit the company culture, they will be turned away.

Chris Bryant (CEO of Bryant Group) also advises to "select for value and train for function" because your employees are representing your brand.  "Invest in the gift that keeps on giving; invest in your people."
