Optimize Your Hiring: Cost & Efficiency Analysis

If your clients are frustrated because things aren't getting done, it's likely because you're missing the right people in the right roles. And when you try to handle hiring yourself, it can cost you far more than you realize.

The Hidden Costs of DIY Hiring 

On the surface, DIY hiring seems cheaper, but when you add up all the hidden expenses, the real price becomes clear:

  • Lost Productivity: Every day you spend sorting resumes and scheduling interviews is a day spent away from running your business.
  • Poor Fit Hires: Hiring the wrong person can cost you thousands in training, onboarding, and lost output before you have to start the process over again.
  • Turnover Costs: Frequent turnover not only drains your budget but also damages team morale and client relationships.

  • Time-to-Fill: Longer vacancy periods increase costs and disrupt productivity.
  • Managerial Time: The time spent by your staff on hiring tasks has a direct cost.
  • Average Salary: Higher salaries mean a bigger financial hit when factoring in turnover and lost productivity.
  • Employee Turnover Rate: High turnover increases replacement costs and lowers morale.
  • Retraining Frequency: Frequent retraining indicates inefficiencies in the hiring process.
  • Vacancy Impact on Deadlines: Delayed projects lead to lost revenue and dissatisfied clients.
  • Operational Delay Costs: The financial impact of project delays.
  • Internal Staffing Costs: Salaries and overhead for your recruiting team.
