How it is calculated
Total hiring cost = job ads + agency fees + assessment tools + team time. It's the total spend on a hiring effort — one or several positions over a period — not the average cost of a single closed position.
For the average cost of one closed vacancy, divide this total by the number of hires — that's exactly what the Cost per Hire calculator does, which is the better tool if an average figure is what's needed rather than a project's total budget.
This calculator is handy for budgeting a hiring effort ahead of time — before the project starts — and for comparing planned versus actual spend once it's finished.
