En felrekrytering p\u00e5 chefsniv\u00e5 kostar i snitt 6\u201312 m\u00e5naders l\u00f6n<\/a>. Det \u00e4r den siffra som brukar citeras. Men den siffran f\u00e5ngar inte det som verkligen kostar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it does not capture what really costs.\nIt is not just salary and recruitment fees. It is the team that lost confidence. The person who resigned because the situation became unbearable. The six months spent trying to work out what actually went wrong. The culture that quietly shifted under that person's leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

None of that shows up on a single line in the accounts. But it is there.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why does it happen?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost always for the same reason: nobody was entirely clear on what they were looking for when the process started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That sounds harsh. But it is true. Most recruitment processes begin with a rough idea of what is needed \u2014 and hope that the right person will define themselves along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That does not work. And it is not the candidate's fault. It is the process.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gut feeling is not a method<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I meet a lot of managers who are good at reading people. They are proud of it. And it is a valuable quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Men magk\u00e4nsla i recruitment<\/a> \u00e4r inte en metod \u2013 det \u00e4r en bekr\u00e4ftelse p\u00e5 vad du redan har best\u00e4mt dig f\u00f6r. Forskningen \u00e4r tydlig p\u00e5 den punkten. Vi bekr\u00e4ftar det vi redan tror, vi v\u00e4ljer den som liknar oss, vi tolkar tvetydighet i den riktning vi vill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Structured recruitment protects you from your own biases. That is not a statement about your competence. It is a statement about your humanity.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What structured recruitment actually means<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It does not mean making the process heavy or bureaucratic. It means making it accurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En kravprofil<\/a> som definierar vad du faktiskt beh\u00f6ver \u2013 inte vad du tror att du beh\u00f6ver. Strukturerade intervjufr\u00e5gor som m\u00e4ter samma sak hos alla kandidater. Personbed\u00f6mning som ger dig ett objektivt underlag. Referenstagning som verkligen s\u00f6ker information \u2013 inte bara bekr\u00e4ftelse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not more work. It is the right work.
What it costs to do it right \u2014 and what it costs to get it wrong
En v\u00e4lgjord rekryteringsprocess<\/a> kostar tid och ibland pengar. Det \u00e4r sant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Men j\u00e4mf\u00f6rt med vad en felrekrytering kostar \u2013 i l\u00f6n, i tid, i teamdynamik, i f\u00f6rtroende<\/a> \u2013 \u00e4r det aldrig en diskussion som \u00e4r v\u00e4rd att f\u00f6ra.
You cannot afford to hire the wrong person. That is not a call for perfectionism. It is a business statement.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have thoughts, questions, or simply want to talk something through \u2014 feel free to get in touch. I am happy to have an initial conversation with no agenda.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
