About your hiring
Quick inputs — results update instantly.
Switching sets typical defaults for that workforce — everything stays adjustable
US median is 39 days for nonexecutive roles (SHRM 2026)
Sets the first-year turnover assumption — replace with your own first-year attrition if you track it
Job boards, sponsored posts & campaigns — set to 0 if unknown
Estimated annual value
$148,725
$2,975 per hire · based on your inputs and adjustable benchmark assumptions
Conservative by design — every default sits below published benchmarks
Value by driver
50 hires × 10 hrs × $40/hr — 500 hrs/yr returned, ≈12% of your 2-person team's capacity
50 hires × 2 hrs × $60/hr
7.8 fewer vacancy days per hire × daily vacancy cost
Fewer first-year exits × 30% of first-year pay replacement cost (widely cited estimate)
20% of $50,000 annual advertising spend via programmatic optimization
10% of offers declined × 20% fewer × $5,475 restart cost (SHRM)
Responsible AI — value beyond the numbers
Every hiring decision on the platform is made by a human. Assessments are scored using IO-psychology-defined formulas, and interviews are rated by your team using structured scales. AI supports the process, but it never makes the decision.
The human-verified approach is designed to support responsible AI in hiring:
- Human oversight of every hiring decision
- Transparent, explainable scoring without a black box
- Audit-ready documentation across the hiring process
Identity assurance, risk avoided
Candidate identity verification, including a selfie matched to a government-issued photo ID, can be required by job and at any phase of the hiring process. Gartner projects that 1 in 4 candidate profiles worldwide will be fake by 2028, while 41% of IT, security, fraud, and risk leaders at large enterprises reported that their company had hired and onboarded a fraudulent candidate in a 2025 GetReal Security survey.
Like compliance, the value of identity assurance is real but organization-specific. The potential impact depends on your hiring volume, risk exposure, and the cost of a fraudulent hire.

Methodology, benchmarks & sources
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 (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. First-year turnover assumptions by industry are drawn from 2025 industry surveys.
Agency fees avoided = hires × share filled via agencies × agency fee × average salary. Contingency agency fees typically run 15–25% of first-year salary.
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.
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).
Compliance value and identity assurance are intentionally not assigned a dollar figure. Avoided regulatory and fraud exposure is real but organization-specific.
