The Real Cost of a Bad Hire: The $200K hiring mistake most leaders never see coming

​As companies grow, hiring decisions become heavier, riskier, and harder to reverse. The cost of a wrong hire isn’t just salary—it shows up in slower decisions, misaligned teams, and lost momentum. Most CEOs don’t notice the impact immediately, but over time it quietly shapes how the business operates.

​In this 45-minute live session, Dan Cox, CEO of EXOS Advisors, together with several EXOS team members, explore the real cost of a bad hire and why most leaders misdiagnose performance issues as skill gaps rather than fit problems. The conversation looks at how hiring decisions ripple through leadership, team engagement, and execution—and why fixing performance after the fact rarely works.

​Rather than teaching hiring tactics, this session focuses on how strong leaders think about hiring differently. You’ll gain clarity on what actually drives performance, why résumés and experience are unreliable predictors, and how aligning people to the work changes outcomes.

​This session is designed for CEOs and senior leaders who want to make better hiring decisions, reduce drag on their teams, and protect momentum as their business grows.
