Singapore bosses think 50% of employees are 'bad hires': survey

[Scrooball (clone)]

While top talents are a measly 10-30%.

According to a survey by RecruitPlus, 99% of the 4,000 employers who answered felt that their organization carry certain percentage of bad hires, from 10% to a whopping 50%.

Conversely, only 64% of the same respondents felt that their companies have Super Performers, ranging from 10% to 30% of their workforce. This group of individuals usually comes from 1) referrals, 2) recruitment agencies & 3) job boards.
All respondents believe the Super Performers are capable of handling the job of 2 to 5 bad hires and will not mind paying them 10% to 30% more salary vis-à-vis bad hires. 93% of the respondents would be keen to consider a tried-and-tested assessment tool if that can guarantee those Super Performers.

The survey shows that companies can benefit more by having more Super Performers and lesser Bad Hires. Given that 1 Super Performer can take on the job of 2 to 5 Bad Hires, the payroll savings is significant even if you have to pay more to sustain the Super Performer.



(Wait a minute. So many foreign trash were hired in recent years. Are the Sinkie bosses saying that those foreign trash are BAD HIRES?)

I don't think highly of sinkee bosses. The SME were dependent on cheap labour 20 years ago and plan to continue to rely on cheap labour past 2030. That's how 'innovative' the sinkee SME are. How long can the PAP hold back the cycle of creative destruction?

If 50% are bad hires, then there's no need to have Ftrashs because all companies can cut down their employment by half & the bad half can take the jobs of these Ftrash so no need for even 1 individual Ftrash to be in Singapore! And the Singapore government has 99% bad hires so can fire the 99% & leave with only 1% that has traditionally been doing the job! This way, companies save 50% on manpower while retaining same productivity & government cut down expenses by 99% & provide the same efficiency!

If you are an SME, the locals you hire tend to be bad because good locals only want to work in MNCs and banks.

I see. So its not a question of how good they are?

If they are not capable or willing to perform the task of 2 to 5 person, they are consider BAD hires?

Are those surveys as credible as the polls in this forum?

Those who steal company time to post on this forum are definitely bad hires for sure.

Agree, but what's with the big bold letters? Making up for a shortage in other areas?

 

[RoyMcFarland]

Only 50% ?

This is stupid!!

These useless Singaporean employers are admitting that they and their HR dept, the interviewers and their recruitment methods are USELESS!

If they think got so high a percentage, why aren't they doing something about it? Maybe because that 50% are the CHEAP FOREIGN TRASH!!

You don't understand English, then you best go back to school.
And what propaganda are you referring to?

If I have to explain to you bit by bit, detail by detail.. then you are definitely a sinkie.. loves to be spoonfed, and can't think for themselves.

Think naive one, think.

Leave your ego at home. You dont have to call me names just because i dont agree with you. Want face? Sorry.

You dont know the companies that were surveyed. There is no mention of nationality of employees. You have absolutely no facts to support your accusations, hence PROPAGANDA.

Crap survey.
