Workforce.com came up with a good table recently from a study by CLC showing some averages that should convince more people about the true cost and impact of talent movement.

In other words, it costs more than $3,000 in time for the recruiter and the manager per each new hire. For each 1,000 hires a company makes, the cost goes to $3M+ and top tier companies can save around $0.5 million on this alone.

That is the cost centric approach. But we have seen that there is way greater impact in your organization than simply taking a strictly cost centric approach.

In fact, the percentage of A-level hires going from 23% to 12% provides significantly more impact on your business than the $0.5 million savings. The opportunity cost of having a position open for 89 days versus 42 days is also very costly!
