Calculate your recruitment ROI
Move the sliders or type your numbers. The savings update as you go.
Estimates use the assumptions explained below. Your real savings depend on your process and costs.
How the calculator works out your savings
No black box. These are the time assumptions behind every number, and how much of each task AI takes over.
Recruiter hours saved = applications × (15 + 20 minutes) × 80% + applications × 10% × 30 minutes × rounds × 80%
Interviewer hours saved = applications × 10% × 45 minutes × rounds × 50%
Hours are valued at $5 an hour for recruiters and $15 an hour for interviewers.
Per application, with 80% handled by AI screening.
Per application, with 80% handled by AI voice or WhatsApp screening.
Per round for the 10% who reach interviews, 80% handled by AI scheduling.
Per round, with half saved through better shortlists and AI video interviews.
What is recruitment ROI?
Recruitment ROI is the return you get on the time and money spent hiring. It shows whether your process is efficient, where the bottlenecks are and whether new hires bring the value you expected.
Cost per hire
Everything spent to fill one role: recruiter time, job boards, agencies and tools.
Time to fill
Days from opening a role to an accepted offer. Every extra day is a seat left empty.
Quality of hire
How well new hires perform and how soon they reach full productivity.
Turnover rate
How many new hires leave early, which sends the cost of hiring back to zero.
Recruitment ROI compares what better hiring returns with what it costs.
ROI (%) = (value gained minus cost of hiring) ÷ cost of hiring × 100 Recruiter hours are usually the largest cost you can cut. That is what this calculator measures. Track the rest in recruitment analytics.
Where the hours come back
Each line of the calculator maps to a part of Hirin.ai. Recruiters keep the conversations and every decision.

Questions about the ROI calculator
What does the recruitment ROI calculator measure?
It estimates how many hours your recruiters and interviewers save in a year when AI recruitment software takes over CV review, first round screening calls and interview coordination, and what those hours are worth. Most of these hours come back through recruitment automation.
How are the hours saved worked out?
For every application the calculator counts 15 minutes of CV review and 20 minutes of screening, and assumes AI handles 80% of that. It assumes 10% of applicants reach interviews, with 30 minutes of recruiter coordination per round (80% automated) and 45 minutes of interviewer time per round (50% saved through AI video interviews and shortlists).
What hourly cost does the calculator use?
It values recruiter time at $5 an hour and interviewer time at $15 an hour. If your team costs more per hour, your real savings are higher than the figure shown.
Can I download my results?
Yes. Select Download Your ROI Report, add your name, work email and job title, and you get a PDF of your inputs and savings to share with your team.
Does Hirin.ai replace recruiters?
No. Hirin.ai takes the repetitive, measurable work such as reading CVs, first round screening and scheduling. Recruiters keep the conversations and every hiring decision, and no candidate is rejected without a person deciding.
How can I improve my recruitment ROI?
Cut the hours spent before the first real conversation. Score every CV with AI screening, screen on WhatsApp or an AI call at any hour, let candidates book their own interview slots and track time to hire in one dashboard.
