Common questions

Hiring ROI, answered.

Is this ROI calculator really free?

Yes. Enter your total roles, average CTC, hiring mix, recruiter payroll, and agency fees, and get an instant estimate — no sign-up, no email, and no limit on how many times you run it.

How is ROI calculated here?

ROI is shown as cash saved in year one: agency fees recovered (agency-sourced roles assumed to move in-house) plus recruiter payroll automated, minus your recommended JIA plan's annual cost. It's a net figure, not gross.

What's behind the automation assumption?

The model runs on one assumption: JIA automates 80% of a recruiter's job — sourcing, screening, and coordination. That shows up twice: as 80% of your recruiter payroll saved (cash math) and as the same share of a recruiter's hours freed up (capacity math) — the same automation counted once each, not two separate savings.

Why can ROI be negative?

On a small team paying for a pricier tier than its hiring volume needs, the recommended plan's cost can outweigh agency and recruiter savings. When that happens, the case for JIA is the recruiter capacity it frees up, not the cash line.

Is this the same as the cost-per-hire calculator?

It's the same underlying model — this page leads with the ROI/cash-saved number, while the cost-per-hire calculator leads with your cost per hire today vs. with JIA. Both numbers are shown on either page.
