Other Costs

Number of Hours to DIY The Hire:

Estimated amount of time it takes a business to use internal employee time to hire the number of roles you've forecast for (research-based assumption: approx. 35hrs for filling a role)

Note: these estimates don't account for other items that negatively impact businesses when they choose DIY hiring, including:

Most line/hiring managers have not been trained and kept up-to-date on the skills to attract, select, manage, offer and negotiate with candidates.
Most line/hiring managers have other duties, meaning recruitment is not their only/primary focus.
The productivity implications don't just impact the hiring manager; being slower to hire than a professional service and/or hiring the wrong candidates costs the whole team time, productivity and morale.
