From hiring, to exiting, the employee lifecycle is fraught with countless headaches. In sales, slow ramp times alone can cost 30% of quota attainment per new hire, while high attrition rates make the cost of hiring skyrocket. Success requires business leaders and HR managers to approach each critical stage with information. Finding the right fit drives success, while misfits result in slow ramp time, loss of revenue, brand risk, attrition, to name a few; the costs keep piling up (you can calculate the ROI of getting it right here).
