How much did your last hiring mistake cost you?

$10,000? $25,000? $50,000? $100,000? Or more?

Sometimes, hiring by gut feel snags you a real winner. Sometimes it just results in a pain in the gut - and your pocketbook – that lasts for weeks, months, or even years.

• What if, before hiring, you could find out if applicants truly can - and will - fit naturally into your systems and deliver on their apparent promise?
• What if you could save the time you and your people are wasting interviewing candidates who are just not a good fit and concentrate your efforts, instead, on recruiting and retaining people who already have the natural strengths needed for your specific positions?
• What if you could pocket the savings to use where you really need that cash this year?
• And, what if you could do all this using in-house resources, instead of resorting to expensive recruiters?

Well, You Can

Depending on what's happening for you, our Job Modeling Services can help you hang onto a lot of time and money that you could use to make a real difference in this year's bottom line as you locate and keep the people you need.

Poor Hiring Swallows Profits

While organizations' people investments vary greatly, there's no question that the costs of hiring the wrong employees - or losing the right ones - can be considerable. The most recent US Department of Labor statistics estimate the average cost to replace a worker in private industry at just under $14K. Salary.com reports replacement costs ranging from between 29% of an employee's annual wages to several times his/her yearly salary. Multiplying this times your annual turnover rate (averaging 14-19% of employees, nationwide), the costs of sub-optimal hiring can crumple your bottom-line!

How much did YOUR last hiring mistake cost?

For the last decade, Between the Lines has built a solid reputation helping business owners take the guesswork out of hiring and keeping people they know they can depend on. People who are already a good fit for specific positions. People they can count on when they need them. People who will stick around because their values and work preferences jive with the system they're in.

How?

We use fast, simple, reliable testing that yields data so quick and accurate it's eerie. And then we help clients apply that data to shrink the amount of time hiring managers spend talking to the wrong people while increasing their chances of making - and keeping - great new hires.

Over the last decade, our biggest successes have come helping business owners who have spent days - or weeks - interviewing and training candidates who appeared to be qualified for a position, but turned out to lack the natural strengths that existing systems needed them to have from their first day on the job. So, despite apparent promise, new hires performed poorly. Or quit too soon after managers made substantial training investments in them. Or, worse, tied people up in long, costly employment disputes.

Let Us Help You

Between the Lines' Job Modeling Services offer small, medium and large organizations a fast, proven, 100% legally safe way to carefully describe the critical parameters of "good fit" for specific positions. So qualified applicants can quickly be matched to openings. And hiring managers can spend their time interviewing only the people who are both qualified for a position and already a good fit for the systems they'll be operating in.

The result: organizations make better hires faster, keep people engaged and productive, and greatly increase their chances of retaining the talent they need.

Depending on the nature of your openings and your current hiring process, reclaiming precious time and productivity wasted interviewing the wrong people - or losing them too soon - can save you $10,000 - $25,000 -$50,000 - $100,000 or more. Per position!
