Early attrition is draining your bottom line – here’s how to fix it

Businesses lose billions due to new hires leaving within their first few months. The total cost of early attrition—estimated at $8.8 trillion globally in lost productivity—rivals that of major business expenses like recruitment, training, and even operational overheads. Hiring, onboarding, and training only to start over again drains resources, slows growth, and disrupts teams.

The cause? Misaligned expectations. Candidates accepting roles without fully understanding what the job entails leads to frustration, disengagement, and ultimately, early exits.

ThriveMap’s unique Realistic Job Assessments are specifically designed to prevent this. Our pre-hire assessments give candidates a clear, immersive preview of the role before they start—so only those who are truly committed move forward. No surprises, no second-guessing, just better hiring decisions that drive long-term retention.
