How expensive is a bad hire? Find out what Zappos’ CEO thinks.

I just came across an interesting interview with Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos. He estimates that his own hiring mistakes have cost Zappos “well over $100 million.”

According to Tony, “one bad hire can lead to a domino-effect of more bad hires and decisions costing a company millions.”

Check out the following interview originally posted on businessinsider.com where he discusses how Zappos hires. The video is part of Business Insider’s Inspiring Performers series:
