Include recruiting and posting fees, internal time, compensation and benefits, vacancy assumptions, onboarding, and any tools used. Use your own costs and label uncertain values as estimates.
Costs depend on the platform, role, location, hiring urgency, and any recruiting agreement. Check current vendor pricing and document fees before comparing options.
Use your own salary, expected time to fill, and a clearly stated estimate of the work delayed or redistributed. Treat the result as a planning scenario rather than a verified loss.
Compare the roles to be filled, anticipated hiring volume, internal capacity, time needs, tools, and applicable recruiting fees. Costs vary by organization and engagement terms; there is no universal headcount or savings rule.
