Definitions

To hire an unsuitable person for a job.

“Whether it be a banker that mishires a teller that steals money, whether it be industry that mishires an accountant, regardless. of what it may be, the best they can do is remove him when they find him guilty of wrongdoing after he has come into the organization.”
“Worse, many times they hire someone they thought was just like what they wanted, but – because of imprecision in the screening and interviewing process — the person wasn't even that!

“Today's lawyers run the risk of feeding the "greedy, arrogant law firm" persona already well-established in the minds of most people when they mishire, mismanage, and improperly funnel resources.”
