What is the Cost Per Hire?
Cost per hire is the total cost of hiring a new employee. This cost is calculated based on the organization’s hiring history, taking into account the total amount spent on a specific number of hires over a given period of time.
Cost per hire serves as a benchmark for future hiring processes, as it provides an idea of how much you need to spend to recruit staff for your company.
Recruitment costs include expenses such as job postings, administrative costs, and onboarding costs, such as training and asset allocation. These costs vary depending on the company’s size, the number of recruitment stages involved, the nature of the position, and the efficiency of the current workforce.
