Calculating The Cost Per HireBy Brian Weis
Recruiters Network

The best known method to calculate the Cost Per Hire (CPH) has been developed by the Employment Management Association (EMA), a special interest group of the Society for Human Resources Management

Its 1997, EMA did a study that calculated the average CPH for newspaper vs. Internet. Their findings showed the Internet was drastically lower.

CPH with print advertising $3,295 
CPH with the Internet $377 

The algorithm used to calculate these figures was developed by EMA, in conjunction with the Saratoga Institute. 

Formula: CPH = AD + AF +ER + T + Relo + RC + 10% 

(Use our online Cost Per Hire Calculator)

Key: 
AD represents your ad costs 
AF are agency fees 
ER are employee referral costs 
T is travel 
Relo is relocation costs 
RC represents the fully loaded cost of all recruiter's time 10% is a historically derived figure for all overhead and administrative support.
