Welcome to our Permanent Staff Recruitment Calculator

Handling Advertising Response:

• Average email response to an online ad will be approximately 60.  Allow 5 minutes to open and read each one.  (eg 60 x 5 = 300 minutes)
• 10% of respondents will also telephone.  Allow 10 minutes for each call.  (eg 6 x 10 = 60 minutes).
• Allow 10 minutes for reading each of 12 'possibles'.  (eg 12 x 10 = 120 minutes).
• Allow a further 30 minutes to contact each of 4 shortlisted candidates.  (eg 4 x 30 minutes = 120 minutes).
• Allow 2 minutes to reply to each unsuccessful candidate. (eg 56 x 2 = 112 minutes).

Input from 3rd Parties

• Allow for another Director or Manager to be involved in the second interview and/or discussion on whether to hire.
• For calculation purposes we have assumed the 2nd Director's hourly rate is the same as the business owner; the support staff's rate is assumed to be $20 per hour.

Overheads

All the costs above are based on pure 'salary' costs.  Allow here for all business overheads and the fixed cost of running the business.  This calculation is all salary costs above factored by 150%.  This is a standard costing factor which is considered conservative as the real cost is likely to be closer to 200%.
