Hiring the wrong person is expensive.
Studies estimate the cost of a bad hire anywhere from 20% to 200% of annual salary once you include lost productivity, training, and replacement. And yet, traditional recruiting methods (CVs, interviews, references) still leave too much to chance.
The hidden costs are often far greater:
Team disruption — one wrong person can lower motivation and productivity across the whole group.
Lost opportunities — while time and energy are spent fixing mistakes, competitors move forward.
Damaged reputation — a poor hire in a client-facing role can weaken trust and relationships built over years.
Burnout of good employees — when others constantly cover for a colleague who doesn’t fit, even your best people may decide to leave

Why Hiring is Getting Harder
Finding the right people has never been simple — but today it’s more complex than ever.
52% of companies in Switzerland struggled to hire last year.
36% had trouble keeping the people they already had.

Why? Because skills alone no longer guarantee success.
Employees are rethinking what they want from work. The top priorities for professionals in Switzerland today are:

Why? Because skills alone no longer guarantee success.
Employees are rethinking what they want from work. The top priorities for professionals in Switzerland today are:
- Work-life balance (87%)
- Job satisfaction (86%)
- Salary (83%)
- Mental health (79%)
- Career development (74%)
Take work–life balance, for example. Nearly nine out of ten candidates say it matters. But what does that mean in the recruiting process?
Traditional tools — CVs, interviews, references — can show experience. But they don’t reveal whether someone will truly fit with the manager, the team, and the company culture.
- A company will rarely admit that “flexible hours” often include regular overtime.
- A candidate may insist on “not a minute later than 6 p.m.” — but say it in the polished language of balance.
Traditional tools — CVs, interviews, references — can show experience. But they don’t reveal whether someone will truly fit with the manager, the team, and the company culture.
The Success Formula:
Results = Attitude × Values × Competence
Results = Attitude × Values × Competence
Many models in management and psychology show the same truth: results are never driven by competence alone. Attitude and values multiply skills — and if even one of these elements is missing, performance drops.
The challenge for companies is not to understand this — but to measure it. Skills can be tested, diplomas can be checked. But how do you assess motivation, values, or working style with the same objectivity?
That’s where SmartHire comes in: it uses validated JobEQ assessments to make these hidden factors measurable, so your hiring and promotion decisions are based on facts, not guesswork.
