Check whether current recruiting capacity can support a monthly hiring target at the present time to hire. The calculator estimates concurrent requisitions required, the capacity shortfall or surplus, and the hiring pace supported by available capacity.
Use the main result as a scenario estimate and read the supporting metrics to understand what drives it. Compare current and target cases with consistent definitions.
The model assumes a steady flow and one filled requisition per hire; seasonality and requisitions with multiple openings require adjustment.
A target of 20 hires per month at 45 days requires 29.6 concurrent requisitions. With capacity for 24, the gap is 5.6 roles.
Use figures from the same reporting period and apply one consistent definition to every input. The help text beside each field describes the expected unit.
Zero is accepted where it represents a valid count, cost, or rate. Inputs used as divisors must be greater than zero so the result remains defined.
Not necessarily. The calculator is a planning model based on the values you enter. Confirm accounting treatment with your finance team before using it in reported statements.
Calculate the current case, record the result, then change one assumption at a time. This makes it easier to see which input drives the difference.
Applicant tracking systems may use different cohort dates, stage definitions, exclusions, or rounding. Align those definitions before comparing results.
| Model element | How it is used |
|---|---|
| Target hires per month | Desired monthly completed hires. Unit: hires/mo. |
| Average time to hire | Average active duration per requisition. Unit: days. |
| Available concurrent requisition capacity | Total active roles the team can manage. Unit: roles. |
