Cost of Conducting Screenings vs. Cost of a Bad Hire

Budget is an important and stressful topic for any business. Without a budget, operations can’t run smoothly, employees don’t have the tools they need, and departments can’t deliver the experience customers want.

 

Among the different considerations of your HR budget, such as recruitment advertising, training, applicant tracking system costs, payroll costs, employee salaries, insurance, and more, background checks shouldn’t be overlooked.

 

Hiring the right candidates impacts the success and profit of your business and saves money in the long run by making your company more efficient and avoiding the costs of rehiring.

 

According to Intuit Quickbooks, basic criminal background checks can cost anywhere from $20 to $100 per hire, while credit history checks usually cost around $25 to $35 per hire.

 

If you are a business that constantly hires a lot of new employees every year, the cost of conducting background checks can add up.

 

However, if you compare the cost of conducting pre-employment screenings to the cost of a bad hire, a background check is a worthy investment to have as a part of your hiring process.

 

41% of employers estimate the cost of a bad hire to be over $25,000. 24% estimate the cost to be over $50,000.

 

Seeing that 69% of companies were adversely affected by a bad hire last year, you’ll know it’s worth it to take the extra step.
