Hiring fast doesn’t mean hiring right. If your new hire leaves within months, you didn’t save time, you just delayed the problem. Early attrition is expensive, demoralizing, and often preventable. The root cause? Culture misfit.

AI writes my resume. AI scans it. Another AI sends the rejection. I haven’t spoken to a human yet and somehow I’m the one who’s not “a good fit.” The hiring process is broken. It's time we put people back at the center.

People often leave jobs for better pay, growth, or work-life balance — but that’s rarely the whole story. A 2022 MIT Sloan study found toxic culture was 10.4× more predictive of employee attrition than compensation. Not 10% more — ten times. Let that sink in.
