How One Bad Hire Cost 300k in Hidden Expenses
Lucas and Luna break down the true cost of a bad hire by examining a real mid-sized tech company that hired a senior engineer who seemed perfect on paper but caused two years of productivity drag, team churn, and rework. They calculate the hidden expenses—onboarding time, manager hours, lost institutional knowledge, severance—and show how a structured hiring process with a weighted scorecard could have prevented the mistake. The episode includes a concrete framework for estimating bad-hire costs at any organization and a candid conversation about why companies rarely do the math.
