Why Screening Saves You Thousands (Without You Noticing)

Most business owners and managers think the biggest hiring cost is salary. But the real expenses creep in quietly—lost productivity, training time, disruption to team morale, and the painful process of rehiring. One bad hire can cost upwards of $20,000 once you factor in the hidden damage.

At Mornington Screening Service, we specialise in protecting your business from that cost.

The Hidden Costs of a Poor Hire

• Time wasted interviewing the wrong candidates

• Training investment that goes nowhere

• Lost productivity from a poor performer

• Team tension caused by culture misalignment

• Recruitment do-over, doubling your effort and advertising fees

When you're a small team or already stretched, one wrong person doesn’t just slow things down—it burns time, energy, and trust.

Real Talk: This Is Preventable

The good news? Most of these risks are avoidable with the right front-end process. Screening isn’t just about ticking boxes. It's about:

• Asking the right behavioural and role-fit questions

• Validating experience and expectations early

• Spotting attitude, adaptability, and potential red flags

MSS has designed a system that works behind the scenes to identify the right applicants before they reach your desk.

ROI You Don’t Have to Chase

When you invest in proper screening, you avoid the costs you never saw coming:

• Better team cohesion

• Higher retention

• Smoother onboarding

• More time to focus on what matters

It’s one of the few business investments that pays for itself by avoiding costly mistakes.
