Reduce the Risk of Early Termination
Why Hiring Right Matters More
Than Ever
Hiring a new team member is an investment, but when that investment fails within the first 90 days, the cost is far greater than expected. Studies show significant number of new hires leave within their first three months simply because their experience doesn't match their expectations. Businesses often underestimate the damage caused by early turnover-not just in terms of financial loss, but also productivity, morale, and long-term stability.
Most companies assume that once a candidate is hired, the hard part is over. But in reality, a failed hire is rarely just the result of an employee not working out. More often, it's a direct consequence of a flawed hiring process that did not identify the right fit from the start.
Why the First 90 Days Are Critical
The first few weeks of a new hire's experience can make or break their long-term success in a company. If they feel unsupported, lost, or misled about the role, they are far more likely to leave.
Some of the most common reasons employees quit early include:
Misaligned expectations - The role and responsibilities do not match what was presented during the hiring process.
A disconnected onboarding experience - No proper introduction to the company's structure, culture, or expectations.
Lack of support from leadership - Minimal engagement from managers, leading to confusion and frustration.
When a new hire does not feel set up for success, they start looking for other opportunities almost immediately. When they leave, businesses find themselves starting the hiring process all over again, losing time, money, and operational efficiency.
The Cost of Losing a New Hire
The financial impact of turnover is far greater than just the salary paid to an employee who leaves. Businesses often fail to measure the total cost of a failed hire, which includes:
Lost productivity - Unfilled roles slow down projects, put extra strain on existing employees, and delay business objectives.
Decreased morale - When turnover is high, existing employees can become frustrated, leading to disengagement and lower performance.
Disrupted workflows - Training new employees takes time, and when they leave prematurely, it creates operational instability.
Reputational damage - Companies that experience frequent turnover can develop a negative employer brand, making it harder to attract quality talent.
Why Most Businesses Get Hiring Wrong
Many businesses assume that hiring is simply about finding someone with the right skills. But a strong candidate on paper does not necessarily mean a strong, long-term hire.
The Only Solution? Hiring Smarter from the Start
Companies cannot afford to waste resources on hiring mistakes. They need a process that guarantees long-term success, not just short-term placement. The only way to prevent early turnover is to ensure that every hire is vetted not just for skills, but for long-term alignment with business goals.
That's where Projective Staffing comes in.
At Projective Staffing, we take the guesswork out of hiring by:
Matching candidates not just to the job, but to the company culture and team dynamics.
Vetting every applicant through rigorous screening processes that assess long-term potential.
Reducing hiring risks by identifying red flags before they become costly mistakes.
Saving companies time, money, and frustration by delivering the right hires the first time.
Early termination is not just an HR issue-it's a business problem with serious financial and operational consequences. Companies that continue hiring the wrong way will keep facing the same cycle of turnover and lost productivity.
Hiring should not be a gamble. If your business is tired of losing employees within the first 90 days, it's time to stop guessing and start hiring smarter.
