How do we calculate your ROI?

Our calculator uses transparent formulas based on recognized HR industry data.

Recruiter time

We estimate approximately 55 hours per hire for manual tasks (CV screening, interview coordination, communications). Source: SHRM.

Vacancy cost

Every day a position remains vacant costs your business. We use the standard formula: daily salary × number of days.

Agency cost

Recruitment agencies charge an average of 18% of the annual position salary.

Bad hire cost

A failed hire costs between 50% and 200% of the position's annual salary. We use the lower bound (50%) to stay conservative. Source: Gallup.

Estimated savings

We use conservative ranges (30-50% on recruiter time, 15-30% on vacancies, 10-25% on agencies, 15-30% on bad hires) rather than unrealistic promises. These rates reflect typical gains from screening automation and AI matching.
