Hire the Right Person the First Time

Use newly available tools to identify qualified candidates that fit into the organization.

There are many hidden costs associated with filling a vacancy.  Having to re-fill the position, whether initiated by the company or the individual, is a disruptive and expensive proposition.  The direct costs are obvious, but the indirect costs that impact others in the organization are often not recognized.  Those indirect costs can be higher and have longer-lasting impacts than the direct costs of replacing a person.  Following the lessons learned from the quality revolution, new tools and techniques can be used to dramatically improve the recruiting challenge.
