Hiring the right talent goes far beyond matching resumes to job descriptions. The best employee hiring strategies revolve around finding candidates who fit your company’s needs and culture. That requires more insight than what one sheet of paper can provide. However, many businesses don’t have the time or resources to thoroughly vet hundreds of applicants. That’s where Nelson Connects comes in.
At Nelson Connects, we understand that exceptional staffing and recruiting requires deep expertise, strategic insight, and a commitment to long-term success for both clients and candidates. Below, we’re exploring employee hiring strategies that help us find the right fit for your company.
Hiring is a significant investment. While salaries and job ads are obvious expenses, many businesses overlook hidden costs. These might include recruitment fees, onboarding, training, lost productivity, and the ripple effects of vacancies. The average cost to hire a new employee in 2025 is around $4,700. However, replacing an employee can cost up to 150-200% of their annual salary. Delays in filling positions can reduce revenue by 3%, impact morale, and slow innovation.
Making a bad hire can increase these costs even more. Factoring in severance, rehiring, legal fees, and lower team morale, it can cost you $17,000 or more. Staffing firms like Nelson Connects reduce this risk with rigorous candidate screening, culture-fit assessments, and flexible hiring options such as temp-to-perm solutions.
For organizations with large or contingent workforces, it can be difficult to manage recruitment, onboarding, compliance, and offboarding.
