Those postings are created by your HR professionals ($$), provided you aren\u2019t working with a professional recruiting firm (more $$). Time spent on optimizing ads, screening applicants and setting up testing and interviews is not often considered. Other hard costs include hiring supplies and materials, drug testing, background screening, etc. According to a poll of 2,048 American companies conducted by SHRM in 2016, the hard costs of hiring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shrm.org\/about-shrm\/press-room\/press-releases\/pages\/human-capital-benchmarking-report.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">average $4,129 per employee.<\/a><\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0The SHRM poll also found it takes an average of 42 days to replace an employee, which equals dollars gone in productivity and efficiency. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So you\u2019re spending thousands to hire\u2026 and training expenses aren\u2019t cheap either!
