Estimate the productivity loss associated with current time to hire and the portion that could be avoided by reaching a faster target. Temporary coverage is included so the result focuses on output that remains unrecovered.
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.
This model values vacancy time consistently across roles. Segment roles when their daily productivity values differ materially.
For 100 hires, reducing time from 48 to 35 days recovers 1,300 vacancy-days. At $320 per day and 25% coverage, avoidable loss is $312,000.
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.
