ROI · Bad-hire + TAT
Real savings. More value.
The pricing calculator above answers "what will I spend?". This one answers "what does that spend save me?" — combining time-to-hire savings from a faster turnaround with the bad-hire reduction from a real adjudication matrix. We use SHRM's lower-bound replacement cost (50% of annual loaded cost) and a conservative 30% bad-hire reduction multiplier.
Including replacements and net-new headcount.
From offer-accepted to candidate cleared to start.
Salary + benefits + employer taxes.
Hires you'd undo within 12 months if you could.
The math, line by line
- · Daily holding cost = $386/day (annual cost ÷ 220 working days)
- · TAT savings = 150 × 8 days × $386/d = $463636
- · Bad-hire savings = 150 × 8% × $42500 × 30% = $153000
