Hiring ROI Calculator

Estimate what a faster ramp to production and fewer false rejections are worth on your own numbers, using the method from a published study of 10,765 hires. Pick your industry, enter your figures, and the tool computes from your inputs, not from ours.
Industry
Industry sets the wording only. Every dollar below comes from your own numbers.
Faster ramp to production
Share of hires who reach production. The study's ranged 21% to 41%.
Per-day value
In the study, candidates with no scoring keywords still produced at 33.7%.
Time horizon
Estimated recovery · 1 year
$27.0M
Computed from your own numbers. The faster-ramp line applies the per-day value to the 600 producers among your hires, never to all of them.
Decomposition by ROI lever
  • Faster-ramp production gainedregression$6.8MSpeed is producers times the per-day value times days accelerated, where producers is your hires times your production rate. The per-day value here is $240 per producer per day (from your own annual production value). The study's conservative constant ($34.95) reconciles with its published $1.12M across 680 producers. The screening-filter line is candidates rejected times the share of them who would have produced times your average annual annual production value per producer. The study found that requiring insurance experience would have rejected 2,863 producers worth $17.7M. All figures are estimates from your inputs and the study's method, not a guarantee, and the study was one carrier and one role, so magnitudes are specific.Methodology · arxiv.org/abs/2604.19819 →

Method and constants from "Decision Traces," arxiv.org/abs/2604.19819. The speed constant is per producer per day and is applied to the producers among your hires. Figures are estimates from your inputs, not a guarantee. The study was one carrier and one role, so the magnitudes are specific and the method is general.
