Estimated results

All figures are estimates from your inputs — not industry benchmarks.

Formula

Cost per hire = (recruiter hours × recruiter rate) + (panel hours × panel rate) + tool cost + agency fee + sourcing + other direct costs.

Optional vacancy load = (annual salary ÷ 260 working days) × days to fill. Vacancy cost is shown separately because SHRM-style CPH definitions vary on whether salary loss is included.
