There’s a quote that says: “If you think hiring a professional is expensive, try hiring an amateur.”
It’s one of those hard truths that comes alive in the workplace. The wrong hire isn’t just a mistake on paper, it affects productivity, team morale, and your bottom line. And yet, when teams are understaffed or under pressure, recruitment often becomes a race against time. The goal becomes “filling the role quickly,” rather than “finding the right person.”
At ThePush, we know that hiring shouldn’t feel like guesswork. It should be a well-informed, strategic decision, and we’re here to make that process easier, smarter, and more effective for you.
The Real Cost of a Wrong Hire
A wrong hire can cost more than just salary and training. It can disrupt team dynamics, delay deliverables, and sometimes, lead to a revolving door of hires and exits.
- Team burnout: Great employees end up carrying extra weight, leading to burnout or even attrition.
- Lost time: Hours go into correcting mistakes, retraining, or replacing the hire.
- Damaged culture: A misaligned team member can shift dynamics, spark conflict, or stall collaboration.
- Financial waste: Estimates suggest a wrong hire can cost up to 30% of that person’s annual salary.
So while it may feel efficient to move fast, what often happens is the opposite, you end up stuck in a cycle of rework, rehiring, and regret.
How ThePush Makes Hiring Smarter
We’re not just a recruitment service, we’re a people partner. Our goal is to help businesses like yours hire with clarity and confidence.
Here’s how we do it:
- Clarity First
We work with you to define exactly what success looks like in the role from skillsets and experience to values and growth potential so you’re not just hiring for today, but for the long run. - Targeted Sourcing
We don’t flood you with resumes. We shortlist & send you qualified candidates who align with your company values and goals. - Smart Screening
Our process goes beyond surface-level interviews. We assess for real-world competence, communication, and cultural fit.
- Reduced Stress for Your Team
We handle the back-and-forth, the coordination, and the follow-ups, so you can focus on leading your team, not chasing down CVs. - Long-Term Focus
We care about retention just as much as recruitment. Our goal is to help you build a team that grows with you, not one you have to rebuild in 6 months.
Hiring is one of the most important decisions a business makes. Every person you bring in can either push your team forward or hold it back. So while it might feel faster to “just fill the role,” the smarter move is to source well and get it right.
We help you do exactly that with less pressure, better outcomes, and the right people in the right roles. We can discuss further here.
