The cost of a mishire is huge and obvious, but don't discount the cost of passing up on a good hire, which is much less visible. But every time a good candidate is passed on, the odds of a mishire go up. There isn't any way to determine with certainty whether a hire will work out or not before they take the job.

I don't think I've ever heard a manager even say the phrase 'turnover' until they have a few ex-employees that they really couldn't afford to have lost, and a bunch of disgruntled people still there. Once the horse has left it's too late to close the barn.
