🎯 Cost Per Hire (CPH) Calculator

About the Cost Per Hire Engine

Cost Per Hire (CPH) is one of the most critical HR metrics. It measures the total economic value required to fill an open position, incorporating both internal expenses (HR staff salaries, employee referral payouts) and external expenses (job boards, external agencies, background checks).

Optimization Rule: While minimizing CPH is important, it should be balanced with Quality of Hire. If your external costs heavily outweigh your internal costs, consider investing in a stronger internal talent pipeline or employer branding strategy.
