“I take full responsibility” means “I am not firing these people because of their faults, I am firing them because I need to and had I better foresight, I wouldn’t have hired them in the first place”

The firing is a necessary consequence of the hiring. You can, if you want, make it harder to fire people — but if you do you will also find companies will be less willing to hire people.
