Every mishire costs more than money. It burns time, erodes trust, and stalls growth. Yet most leaders still treat hiring like a fire drill and pay the price.
In MisHired: The Cost of Reactive Hiring and the Proven Framework That Fixes It, veteran executive recruiter and hiring strategist Amy Volas pulls back the curtain on the hidden costs of broken hiring processes and shares a proven framework to fix them. Drawing on nearly three decades of experience in sales, leadership, HRTech, and executive search, she exposes the patterns that cause hiring failures and delivers a system that helps leaders consistently make the right calls.
At the center is The Hiring OS(R), a framework that has helped companies cut hiring mistakes by more than 60 percent and achieve a 98 percent interview-to-hire success rate.
Inside, you'll discover...
- Why reactive hiring fuels turnover and undermines growth
- How to stop wasting hours on résumés and interviews that go nowhere
- Strategies to align hiring with your company vision and long-term goals
- Practical tools to recover from a mis-hire and prevent the next one
If you have ever thought...
- "Why does every new hire feel like starting over?"
- "Why does my team keep leaving faster than I can replace them?"
- "How do I know if this next hire will stick or sink us?"
- "Why am I spending so much time interviewing and still not getting the right outcome?"
This book is your answer. Stop relying on luck. Start hiring with intention. Build the team that shapes your legacy.
