Digital transformation is causing companies to create and hire for many new roles; roles they’ve never hired for before. 85% of jobs are expected to be reinvented by 2030 and, by 2021, employment in all technology occupations is expected to increase by 22%. According to Recruiting Roundtable, organizations or new hires regret hiring decisions 50% of the time. Accel KKR points out that the tangible costs associated with mis-hires are staggering; 14x salary for employees with a base annual salary under $100k and 28x salary for employees with a base annual salary between $100k and $250k. 40% of all new leaders fail within the first 18 months. In new roles, the failure rate is even higher. In all roles, studies show that the number one reason leaders fail is due to poor fit. Poor fit is 100% preventable.
