Contracts that require an employee to pay back training costs are often unenforceable in practice.
If the employee quits, what are you gonna do? Sue them? It can cost $100k to fund a lawsuit. Even if you win, then what? Good luck collecting the judgment.
What if the employee doesn't quit but intentionally underperforms to engineer their firing? Recovering training costs will be difficult.
Hiring someone already trained in the skills you need is much easier.
