Cost Per Hire

The fully-loaded cost of acquiring a single hire, including agency fees, internal recruiter time, tooling and overhead.

Cost Per Hire (CPH) is the total cost incurred to make one hire, divided across all hires in a period. A complete CPH calculation includes external agency fees, internal recruiter salaries (loaded), sourcing tooling, ATS costs and a share of management overhead. Saiyō RaaS engagements average a 59% reduction in cost per hire against agency-heavy baselines, and CVaaS projects 80%+, because there are no placement fees in either model.
