Agency vs. Internal

The time used for hiring is very valuable. According to the Employment Management Association, the overall cost per hire rose 22% last year. How much of your valuable time is wasted on this task? Recent statistics show that an individual’s net worth to a company is five times their annual salary.

For example:

1. You advertise for a sales position at a $30,000 base + commission.
2. You receive 200 resumes in response to an ad.
3. You, the hiring authority are currently making $100,000.
   Take your personal production and multiple by your net worth
   $100,000 x 5 = $500,000
   52 weeks per year worked x 40 hours per week = 2,080 hrs./wk.
   $500,000 divided by 2,080 = 240.
   This illustrates your worth at $240/hr.

Without even interviewing any candidates, 200 resumes takes an average of 67.8 hours – an average of 22 minutes per resume. 67.8 hours x $240 (your worth to the company) equals $16,272. This does not include the cost of the ad. Now you narrow it down to five candidates that you personally interview for two hours each. You have invested another $2,400 (5 interviews at 2 hours each) 10 hrs. x $240 hr. = $2,400. Add your invested time $16,272 plus $2,400 and come up with a grand total of $18,672. That is without even hiring someone.
