For Hiring Managers & CXOs

What Is That Open Role Actually Costing You?

Most companies underestimate the true cost of an unfilled technical role by 3–4×. Calculate the real number then compare it to what a specialist staffing partner costs.

How the calculation works
Lost productivity
50% of monthly salary × months vacant. Team absorbs the gap at a real cost.
Internal HR time
~120 hrs total: sourcing, screening, scheduling, debrief cycles at your HR rate.
Job boards & tools
LinkedIn, Indeed, assessment platforms. Scaled to local market rates per country.
Interview overhead
5 stakeholders × 3 hrs × 3 rounds. Managers' time has a real dollar cost.
Onboarding ramp
60-day ramp at 50% productivity. New hires rarely hit full output immediately.
Dasro placement fee
One-time 17% of annual salary. Typical time-to-fill: 2–3 weeks, not months.
