The True Cost of Agency Recruiting

Agency recruiters aren't the enemy—they’re a strategic asset when used wisely. For niche roles or rapid hires, their deep networks can be invaluable. The key isn’t cutting ties—it’s knowing when to lean in, and building a hiring ecosystem that plays to everyone's strengths.

Nobody Knows Their Cost Per Hire

Most talent acquisition leaders don’t know their cost per hire—and that’s more common than you’d think. Despite its importance, this metric is rarely calculated consistently. But getting to “accurate enough” can unlock smarter planning, better ROI conversations, and greater credibility. Start tracking now, even if the data isn’t perfect yet.

Making Sense of Cost-per-Hire

Cost-per-hire is a foundational HR metric—but calculating it accurately isn’t always straightforward. While SHRM offers a standard formula, organizations vary in what they include. From recruiter salaries to job ads and agency fees, knowing what counts—and documenting your method—ensures credible benchmarks, smarter budgeting, and more strategic talent acquisition decisions.
