The Most Expensive Bug: Bad Hiring
Bad hiring costs more than any bug in the code. How to transform hiring from a lottery into a managed process using a B2B contract.
Authors: slavb18
The most expensive bug in a company is not code.
It's bad hiring.
One person can:
- slow down the team
- break processes
- create chaos
And it costs:
months of time millions of dollars
But hiring is treated less strictly than code.
Although the consequences are much worse.
Code can be rewritten. Architecture can be redesigned. Even a product can be pivoted.
It doesn't work that way with people.
How Hiring Happens Now
Hiring is still:
- intuition
- impression
- "seems okay"
Instead of:
- metrics
- a system
- real-world validation
And that's why companies pay for the same mistake again and again.
The Obvious Solution
👉 Work together first, then hire.
A short-term B2B contract provides:
- real-task validation
- understanding of speed and quality
- transparent results
And only after that - hiring.
What This Changes
This removes the main risk: uncertainty.
And transforms hiring from a lottery into a managed process.
