6 figures is not spent if you hire someone who doesn't work out.

If that were true companies would give out huge raises to keep employees. They don't.. they prefer that people leave and new people get hired by them.

No one wants a bad hire because it taints their brand at the org. Having someone else recommend someone means someone else takes the blame. Referrals get hired quickly.




If you pay someone $200K/year and keep them on for 6 months before letting them go, that's $100K spent.
