Estimate the annual value of structured, science-based hiring — grounded in published industry benchmarks. Adjust every assumption to match your reality.
Quick inputs — results update instantly.
Every hiring decision on the platform is made by a human. Assessments are scored with IO-psychologist-defined formulas, and interviews are rated by your own team on structured scales — AI supports, it never decides. That human-verified architecture is built for responsible AI in hiring:
Candidate identity verification (a selfie matched to a government-issued photo ID) can be required per job at any phase of the hiring process. Candidate fraud is escalating: Gartner projects that 1 in 4 candidate profiles worldwide will be fake by 2028, and 41% of IT, security, fraud and risk leaders at large enterprises say their company has hired and onboarded a fraudulent candidate (GetReal Security, 2025). Like compliance, this value is real but organization-specific — so we don’t put a number on it.

Recruiter time returned = hires × recruiter hours saved per hire × recruiter loaded hourly cost. Recruiters spend an estimated 23 hours screening résumés for a single hire (Glassdoor); the default assumes less than half of that is recovered.
Hiring-manager time returned = hires × hiring-manager hours saved per hire × loaded hourly cost. Pre-screening and structured assessments mean managers interview a smaller, qualified slate.
Faster time-to-fill = hires × days reduced × daily cost of vacancy. Daily cost of vacancy uses the standard formula (annual salary ÷ 260 working days) with a conservative impact factor of 1.0. US median time-to-fill for nonexecutive roles is 39 calendar days, down from 44 in 2025 (SHRM 2026 Recruiting Benchmarking).
Better quality of hire = hires × industry first-year turnover rate × early-turnover reduction × replacement cost. Replacement cost uses 30% of first-year earnings per mis-hire, a widely cited industry estimate often attributed to the U.S. Department of Labor and at the low end of published ranges. First-year turnover assumptions by industry are drawn from 2025 industry surveys and employer-reported estimates. Validated pre-hire assessments are consistently associated with lower early turnover; the 15% default is set conservatively.
Agency fees avoided = hires × share filled via agencies × agency fee × average salary. Contingency agency fees typically run 15–25% of first-year salary (20% is the common benchmark).
Smarter advertising spend = annual job advertising spend × savings rate. Our programmatic advertising partner’s platform data (2025) shows a 23% year-on-year reduction in cost-per-application — 17% more sponsored applications delivered on a 10% smaller budget. The default savings rate (20%) is deliberately set below the partner-measured 23%.
Fewer declined offers = hires × offer-decline rate × decline reduction × restart cost. Restart cost uses the SHRM 2025 nonexecutive average cost per hire ($5,475; SHRM 2025 Benchmarking), a cross-role average — lower it for hourly roles. Market-aligned, transparent compensation improves offer acceptance; the 20% default reduction is set conservatively.
Compliance value and identity assurance are intentionally not assigned a dollar figure. Avoided regulatory and fraud exposure is real but organization-specific.
This calculator provides directional estimates based on published third-party benchmarks and adjustable assumptions. It is not a guarantee of results, savings, or performance. Benchmark sources: SHRM 2026 Recruiting Executives Benchmarking (median nonexecutive time-to-fill 39 days); SHRM 2025 Benchmarking Report (nonexecutive average cost per hire $5,475); replacement cost of 30% of first-year earnings (widely cited industry estimate); 2025 industry turnover surveys and employer-reported first-year attrition estimates; standard industry cost-of-vacancy methodology; Glassdoor (recruiter screening hours per hire); programmatic advertising partner platform data, 2025 (cost-per-application); Gartner (candidate fraud projection, 2025); GetReal Security (enterprise candidate-fraud survey, 2025). In hourly mode, pay is annualized at 2,080 working hours per year. Model v5 — September 2026.
