How the calculator works

What does the calculator measure?

Three kinds of value, each from the inputs you set: cash you stop spending on tools and ads, recruiter time recaptured (half of the saved hours, at your loaded hourly cost, because a recruiter is paid either way), and placement margin (a few extra placements at 70% of your fee, after recruiter commission). Each product carries at most one small revenue line, and every line shows its arithmetic.

Does it include what Candidately costs?

No. AI Resume Builder is the only product with a published price, $1 per exported resume. Client Portal, Talent Marketplace, Candidate Search AI and Job Board are priced on your team size, volume and the products you combine, so the calculator shows value before fees. If you already have a quote, enter it on the results step to see net value, return and payback.

Where do the benchmarks come from?

Market defaults come from Bullhorn GRID 2026, national salary statistics and salary guides per country, SmartRecruiters time-to-fill data, Appcast recruitment marketing benchmarks and published LinkedIn Recruiter pricing. Product effects sit well below vendor claims; at the US defaults all five products add up to about 15% of an agency's revenue, and every formula and assumption is open in the calculator.

Which products are covered?

All five: Job Board, Candidate Search AI, AI Resume Builder, Client Portal and Talent Marketplace. Pick one or combine them, and switch between a conservative, expected and optimistic scenario.
