The Real Cost of Waiting

An Open Role Is Costing You Every Day It Stays Empty

Vacancies don’t pause your workload — they redistribute it, delay revenue, and burn out the team covering the gap. The longer a seat stays open, the more it quietly costs.

Average cost of a single vacancy over the 42 days it typically takes to fill — roughly $98 per day (SHRM).

$7K–$10K

Per month lost for revenue-generating roles like sales, where every open seat is missed pipeline.

6–9 months

Of an employee’s salary is the typical cost to replace them once you factor in lost productivity (SHRM).

70%

Of the Workforce Isn’t Looking at Your Job Ad

About 70% of professionals are passive candidates — employed, skilled, and not actively scanning job boards. Posting an ad reaches the minority who happen to be searching today. The best-fit people usually have to be found and approached directly, which is exactly how we recruit.
