We want to talk to hiring managers and founders today. You have been interviewing candidates for years. You have a feel for people. The problem: that feel is costing you more than you think. According to SHRM research, the average cost of a bad hire is 50-200% of that person's annual salary. For a role paying N600,000 per month, that is N3.6M to N14.4M per mistake. Leadership IQ data from 20,000+ hires tells us why this keeps happening: 89% of bad hires fail because of soft skills, not technical incompetence. Coachability. Communication under pressure. Accountability. Ownership. Here is the structural problem: Most Nigerian interview processes test for technical ability, case studies, knowledge assessments, hard skill demonstrations. They are filtering for the wrong thing. The competencies that determine whether someone thrives or fails in the role are almost never the ones the interview is designed to assess. Pre-screening on soft skills before the first interview changes the math. You meet fewer candidates. You meet better-matched ones. The investment is affordable, against a bad hire cost of N3.6M minimum. That is not a cost. That is risk management. Career Fix runs your shortlisted candidates through a 30-40 minute assessment covering 8 soft skill competencies. You receive individual reports and a ranked comparison table. Recommendation per candidate: Advance, Review, or Do Not Advance. The same benchmark used for individual Career Fix users. First pilot batch available now. Minimum 10 candidates.
