What it does
Pressure-test the business case for a more structured hiring process
This tool keeps the model intentionally simple. It estimates value from one better-run hire using salary, likely time savings, admin savings, and an optional recruitment fee assumption.
That makes it useful for early-stage budgeting and internal conversations rather than complex procurement modelling.
What this tool includes
- Potential fee saving estimate
- Role-based time-to-hire assumptions
- Admin time saved estimate
- Reference annual software budget for comparison

Frequently asked questions
Why is the software cost illustrative?
To keep the calculator lightweight and useful as an early commercial sense-check.
Does this mean the fee disappears completely?
No. The model only treats part of a typical recruitment fee as potentially avoidable value.
Can I use it without agencies?
Yes. Select no for recruitment fee and the model will focus on speed and admin savings.
Can I use this result as a final policy or legal decision?
No. Use the result as a practical planning estimate, then review it against your policy, legal requirements, and the specific employee or hiring context.
Is this tool designed for UK HR scenarios?
Yes. Where the calculation relies on statutory assumptions, the current version is designed around UK employment and HR conventions.
