WhoHire flagged the candidate as a flight risk. Leadership overrode the data because they liked him in the interview. They funded his professional training. He quit the day he returned.
The candidate interviewed well. Charming. Said all the right things. Leadership loved him.
But WhoHire's R.E.G.I. score told a different story. Flight risk: 78%. Engagement patterns suggested he was using the job as a stepping stone, not a destination.
The system flagged him. Leadership overrode it.
"He's different," they said. "The interview was so strong."
They hired him. They invested in his training — $12,000 for professional certifications. They planned for his career path.
He completed the training. He got the certification. He came back to work.
His first day back from training, he resigned. He'd already accepted another job — one that wanted the certification the company just paid for.
Total loss: $12,000 in training, plus recruiting costs, plus onboarding time, plus the opportunity cost of the seat.
The data was right. The gut was wrong.
Training investment walked out the door
WhoHire's prediction was accurate
"We should have listened to the data. The system told us exactly what would happen."

Data doesn't care about charisma. It doesn't get swayed by good interviews.
When WhoHire flags a flight risk, there's a reason. The patterns are there in the data — even when they're invisible in the interview room.
