The Problem with Hiring Today
Traditional hiring is broken. It's slow, expensive, and it's costing companies billions.


The Costs
lThe global cost of mis-hiring? Over $540 billion a year.
That’s the price we’re all paying for a broken system.
Each bad hire costs you up to 30% of their first-year salary.
For senior or specialized roles, that number can skyrocket to 200%.
And it’s not just money—it’s time, morale, lost momentum, and team drag.
And a massive chunk of that comes from companies paying premium fees to recruitment agencies and headhunters, over $200 Billion per year on Third-Party Recruiters for white-Collar roles alone—only to end up with bad hires, slow processes, and missed execution.

The issue with hiring processes
Hiring Managers are Frustrated. Recruiters are drowning. And bad hires keep slipping through.
You’re not imagining it. The hiring process is bloated, biased, and built for speed dating—not performance.
- >> Recruiters spend hours digging through the same LinkedIn lists, inboxes and stale databases.
- >> Interviews are rushed, irrelevant, or books weeks after approaching the candidate-- by the time they happen, top talent is gone.
- >> Hiring managers are left doing the deep digging themselves-- after the wrong people are already in the funnel.
- >> Meanwhile, the real doers? They're already hired by someone else.


More bottlenecks
Interviews are a bottleneck. And it's costing you the best people.
You’ve found someone promising—but now you need to coordinate calendars. Your team’s in back-to-backs. The candidate’s halfway across the world. And that interview? It’s scheduled for next Thursday at 2PM.
By then, they’ve taken another offer. Or lost interest.
The best talent moves fast—and traditional hiring moves too slow.




The Real Problem?
Proof of Execution is missing from the process
Most hiring systems reward noise over nuance.
Buzzwords over outcomes. Talkers over doers.
We rely on resumes and personality—then cross our fingers.
We don’t need more pitches.
We need proof.
