There’s simply no way around it—bad hires are costly. Your practice and employees suffer in more ways than one when you ask the wrong dermatology professional to join your team. Discover how damaging it is to hire the wrong person and what you can do to improve your chances of choosing wisely.
Cost of Hiring the Wrong Candidate
The cost of making a bad hire ranges in severity based on many different factors. However, in general, the US Department of Labor suggests that choosing the wrong candidate can end up costing employers up to 30% of that hire’s first year of earnings.
The current average annual income of a dermatologist in the St. Louis area is about $337,500. Based on this estimate, making a poor hiring decision for a dermatologist in the St. Louis area could cost your practice more than $100,000!
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
- Lost revenue/patients
- Top-performer burnout
So not only do you have to worry about the financial cost of choosing the wrong candidate, but also the cost of having to supply added supervision and pushing your top-performers to overextend their talents—and risk them becoming overwhelmed as a result.
#1 Reason for Hiring the Wrong Person
As the nation’s #1 dermatology recruitment firm in the country, myDermRecruiter knows how vital it is to hire and retain top-performing professionals for the future success of your practice. However, that’s easier said than done. Promising candidates who have outstanding resumes and complete successful interviews can quickly turn into regrets when they don’t measure up to what you were expecting.
Over the years, we’ve found that the primary reason for making a poor hiring choice stems from practices failing to look for the right cultural fit for their office’s unique environment.
Hiring a candidate that flows smoothly into the established culture and work environment that you’ve worked hard to create will ensure you add an ideal candidate to your team. A cultural fit is the first component myDermRecruiter experts consider when screening dermatology candidates for a position. We believe the cultural fit of a candidate is what makes or breaks a successful career placement.
