A lot goes into recruiting, hiring and retaining talented orthopedic surgeons. And hiring the wrong candidate for your practice is costly. But do you know just how costly?
Let’s look at one example…
Costs of Hiring the Wrong Candidate
The US Department of Labor suggests that selecting the wrong candidate can cost employers up to 30% of that hire’s first year of earnings.
So let’s say you’ve hired an orthopedic surgeon making a median annual salary of $510,680 that turns out not to be a great fit.
By this estimate, the cost of a single hiring decision for your practice could be more than $150,000. On top of that, hiring a candidate that is ill-equipped for the job can lead to…
- A loss of productivity
- A need for additional supervision
- Cultural damage that lowers morale
- Lost revenue and patients
- Top-performer burnout
- Potential legal fees regarding unlawful termination or discrimination claims
The direct financial cost of hiring a candidate that simply isn’t a great match is steep. But so are the secondary effects that are more difficult to quantify. It all adds up quickly!
