Retention Over Replacement: How Identic DNA Ensures Long-Term Hiring Success

Recruitment is not just about filling vacancies; it’s about finding the right people who will grow with your organization and drive its long-term success. However, many traditional hiring processes focus on immediate needs rather than long-term retention, leading to higher turnover rates and recurring recruitment costs. This is where Identic DNA, the innovative approach from Identic Group, sets itself apart by emphasizing retention over replacement.

Here’s how Identic DNA ensures that every hire is a sustainable investment in your company’s future.

The High Cost of Employee Turnover

Employee turnover isn’t just inconvenient; it’s expensive. Studies show that the average cost of a bad hire can exceed £150,000, factoring in:

Recruitment and onboarding expenses.
Lost productivity during the vacancy period.
Time and resources spent on training new hires.
Negative impacts on team morale and cohesion.

Retaining employees not only saves money but also fosters a stable, motivated workforce. That’s why Identic DNA is designed to prioritize long-term compatibility and success.

How Identic DNA Focuses on Retention

At the core of Identic DNA’s approach is a deep understanding of the role, the company, and the candidates. Here are the key ways it achieves long-term retention:

1. Precision Matching Through Psychological Profiling

Identic DNA begins by assessing the behavioral traits, team dynamics, and leadership styles of the hiring manager or decision-maker. This psychological profile defines the ideal candidate’s characteristics, ensuring a match not just in skills but in values and work style.

Candidates undergo the same assessment, producing a comprehensive profile. The results are then compared to create a DNA Match Score that evaluates compatibility, employability, and potential for long-term success within the organization.

2. Role-Specific Job Briefing

Traditional job descriptions can be vague, leading to mismatched hires. Identic DNA creates a detailed, role-specific Job Brief that aligns the expectations of the employer and the candidates, reducing misunderstandings and ensuring a better fit.

3. Future Potential Assessment

Identic DNA evaluates not just the candidate’s ability to perform the current role but also their potential to grow within the company. This forward-thinking approach ensures hires are not only effective today but also valuable contributors to the company’s future.

4. Reducing Unconscious Bias

Biases can lead to decisions that prioritize immediate likability over long-term suitability. Identic DNA’s AI-driven tools eliminate biases by focusing purely on data and psychological insights, resulting in fairer, more accurate hiring decisions.

The Results Speak for Themselves

Identic DNA boasts a 98.2% employee retention rate over two years, far surpassing industry averages. Here’s why this matters:

Increased Productivity: Long-term employees have the experience and company knowledge to perform at their best.
