Maybe the main reason is the HR problem or the wrong determination of the current employees's qualifications and experiences .

or for some companies they recruit the wrong employees in the name of relatives inside the company or  intermediaries.

Lack of quality Work force. Sorry to say, there are thousands of Universities / Colleges producing Graduates in Thousands with lack of Practical Field Knowledge and Expertise. I have been interviewing almost100 candidates to select may be1 or2 persons for the job reason being simply this. 

Secondly non-professionalism by many. We apply to every job we see consequently making life of Recruiter more miserable and tough. Many a times due to this those are selected which may not have been a better option for that job

Mr. Amir Mahmoud has put it in simple words. I am of the same opinion.
