Why do so many new hires fail?
A staggering 46 percent of newly hired employees fail within 18 months, according to a three-year study of more than 5,000 hiring managers in several industries by Leadership IQ.
That means that even after your company makes a significant investment in recruiting, interviewing, training and coaching new employees, nearly half just don’t work out. Yikes.
If you’re experiencing problems finding quality hires, we can help. To hire better employees, just widen your applicant pool with online recruiting; then you can select only the right-fit candidates with targeted screening. First, however, you need to know
why your hires aren’t succeeding. Hint: it’s probably not their technical skills.
The number one reason new hires fail is…
 Are
you prepared for holiday hiring?
Make no mistake about it; your competitors are ready for the holiday hiring season. They have a strategy in place, are anticipating a huge influx of applicants, and are ready to start hiring the best of the best. In fact, several Fortune 500 companies posted their seasonal jobs on SnagAJob.com at the beginning of September – and are already actively hiring.
Current economic woes mean you’ll be inundated with more applicants than ever this holiday hiring season. While this will provide you with the unique opportunity to hire more high-quality employees than before, it could also end up causing some major headaches for HR, hiring managers, and your current staff if you don’t start preparing them now.
So
what’s the competition doing to prepare that you’re not?
-
They’re getting started early. The competition is already posting jobs and following up with the best applicants as quickly as possible. It’s your turn: move fast so you can grab the most experienced candidates before your competitors do.
-
They’re interviewing, interviewing, interviewing. Your competition isn’t afraid to interview candidates more than once and you shouldn’t be either. Remember, you’re looking for quality – not just quantity.
What else is your competition doing?

I found a job!
"I am a user of SnagAJob.com... At first, I was an non-believer, but then I got a call from UPS telling me when and where to go for the tour. After the tour, I waited less than a week for them to call me back. Now, I am currently an employee at UPS. I
sort packages and unload trucks and air containers. The job came in at a time of need. I only really have one bill, and that's a college bill. I have been able to pay that bill easily with the help of SnagAJob.com. Thank you!"
