If you hired from an external recruiter, don’t delay getting rid of them — there’s probably a warranty clause where you’ll get most of your recruiter fee back if and only if you turn it around quick enough. 12 weeks in and the warranty is normally done. Letting go of someone sucks, but offset that against upsetting your current good, hard-working team. The quicker you let this person go, the more easily they can pretend the job never happened on their CV.
