The Real Cost of a Bad Hire vs. a Nearshore Mismatch (And How to Avoid Both)
Most founders budget for a hire's salary. Few budget for what happens if the hire is wrong. According to the Recruitment & Employment Confederation, a poor hire at mid-manager level on a £42,000 salary can end up costing a business more than £132,000 once training, lost productivity, and departmental disruption are factored in. That's more than three times the salary that first got board sign-off. For a startup or scale-up, that isn't a rounding error. It's a chunk of runway.
