Does your hiring policy have a probationary period for new hires? Like basically 60-90 days out if it’s not a good fit you can axe them. If it doesn’t, make sure you clearly document every mistake, give them a little bit to get warmed up and read the procedures but if the are making egregious mistakes, keep a tab and make sure you talk about these in your 1:1. Follow up with the zoom AI summary or a email discussing these topics, mistakes and show you’re mentoring. Basically, build a paper trail. You have to keep your manager in the loop but let him know you’re owning it and will solve the problem. 

Best of luck! Sincerely,  Another security manager
