The Unexpectedly High Cost of a Bad Hire

I take it to mean both. They're both bad hires, though obviously in different ways and degrees.

Generally speaking though, in places I've worked, simply being not up to snuff is not in and of itself evidence of a bad hire.

If you're not competent, cannot learn quickly, or are unwilling to train and learn, then you may be a bad hire.

I can understand if they cannot learn quickly but I haven't come across or ever heard of hires unwilling to train. Why would entry-level employees be unwilling to train?
