Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate cost per hire?

Cost per hire is calculated by dividing total recruitment costs (internal recruiting costs + external recruiting costs) by the number of hires in a period. Internal costs include recruiter salaries, ATS subscriptions, career site, employee referral bonuses. External costs include job board fees, agency fees, background checks, assessment tools. Our Cost Per Hire Calculator includes all cost categories.

What is a good time-to-fill metric?

Average time-to-fill varies by role, industry, and seniority. Entry-level roles average 30-40 days, mid-level 40-50 days, senior/specialized roles 60-90+ days. Track time-to-fill by role type and compare against industry benchmarks. Focus on reducing time-to-fill without sacrificing hire quality. Our Time-to-Fill Calculator helps model process improvements.

How do I measure recruitment ROI?

Recruitment ROI compares the value of hires against recruitment costs. Calculate by measuring new hire productivity, retention rates, performance ratings, and revenue contribution against total cost per hire. Factor in hiring manager time savings, reduced agency spend, and faster time-to-productivity. Our Recruitment ROI Calculator models these metrics.

What is the cost of a bad hire?

Bad hire costs include recruiting costs, onboarding expenses, salary and benefits paid, training investments, productivity losses, team morale impact, and replacement costs. Total cost typically ranges from 1.5x to 3x annual salary depending on role level. Prevention through better screening and assessment delivers significant ROI.

How do I calculate interview efficiency?

Interview efficiency measures time spent interviewing relative to successful hires. Calculate total interview hours (number of interviews × interview length × interviewers) divided by hires made. Optimize by reducing interview rounds, improving candidate screening, standardizing interview processes, and training interviewers. Track pass-through rates at each stage.

What affects offer acceptance rates?

Offer acceptance rates are influenced by competitive compensation, candidate experience quality, time-to-offer speed, role clarity, company brand, interview process, and competing offers. Track acceptance rates by role, level, and source. Improve rates through faster processes, better candidate engagement, competitive offers, and realistic job previews.

How do I calculate hiring capacity?

Hiring capacity is calculated based on recruiter bandwidth, average time per hire, concurrent requisitions, and process efficiency. Factor in recruiter-to-requisition ratios, sourcing channel effectiveness, hiring manager availability, and seasonal variations. Model capacity needed to hit hiring targets and identify bottlenecks in the hiring process.

What is the ROI of recruitment technology?

Recruitment technology ROI measures efficiency gains and cost savings from ATS, sourcing tools, assessment platforms, and automation against software costs. Calculate time savings for recruiters, improved quality of hire, reduced agency spend, faster time-to-fill, and better candidate experience. Model ROI across different tools and vendor options.
