What this tool helps you see
This is built to help hiring leaders put a number on the vacancy cost before it quietly turns into a much bigger business problem.
This role is not just sitting empty.
A delayed hire usually creates three layers of cost at the same time: the missing output from the role itself, the drag on other people covering the gap, and the wider business impact around slower delivery.
The useful comparison is not fee versus no fee.
It is usually the cost of waiting versus the cost of solving the problem properly. That is why this page shows the delay cost over time, not just the role salary on its own.
