   The Hidden Costs of Hiring the Wrong HR Person (and How to Avoid Them)

   When businesses decide it’s time to bring HR expertise in-house, the stakes are high. Whether you’re scaling quickly, dealing with complex compliance issues, or trying to improve retention, hiring the right HR person can transform your business.

   But hire the wrong one?

   
   It’s more than just a bad fit it’s one of the most expensive mistakes you can make.

   In fact, research shows that a single bad hire can cost a business 3–4 times the role’s annual salary when you add up direct and indirect losses. And in HR, where decisions directly affect your people, culture, and compliance the fallout can be even greater.

   Let’s explore the real cost of getting it wrong and how to avoid it.

   When you view Bootcamp as a cost, it’s easy to hesitate. But when you see it as an investment in your future business, the equation is clear:

   • One retained client at £1,000/month pays for Bootcamp in less than 2 months.

   •  Launching 6 months earlier could mean £10,000+ in additional income.

   • Avoiding common mistakes can save £5,000+ in wasted spend.

   The question isn’t “Can I afford Bootcamp?”  it’s “Can I afford to waste six months figuring it out alone?”
