What is your real cost per hire — and what's it costing you in recruiter hours?

The standard SHRM/ANSI formula is: Cost Per Hire = (Internal Recruiting Costs + External Recruiting Costs) ÷ Total Hires. This calculator focuses specifically on the screening-stage cost — recruiter time spent on phone/video screening calls, including time lost to no-shows — since that's the stage AI interviews replace directly.

Take the recruiter's fully-loaded monthly cost (salary + benefits + tools + a share of manager overhead) and divide by working hours in the month (~200). Most in-house TA executives in India work out to ₹230–350/hour fully loaded; agency recruiter time is often billed higher.

In mass hiring (BPO, retail, delivery, warehouse), scheduled-interview no-show rates of 20–60% are common. Every no-show still costs the recruiter time spent scheduling, sending reminders, and waiting — with zero output. AI interviews remove this cost because candidates complete them asynchronously, on their own time, with no recruiter present.

It's a planning estimate, not an audit. Replace the defaults with your own numbers — monthly hiring volume, recruiter cost, screening call length, and no-show rate — for a figure specific to your team. Most Indian mass-hiring teams find their real screening cost is higher than what shows up on a hiring-cost spreadsheet, because recruiter time is rarely tracked per call.

From ₹60 per completed interview (1 credit = 1 interview), regardless of language or duration. Credits never expire, there's no monthly fee, and new accounts get 5 free interview credits to test with real candidates before paying anything.
