What is the cost of not filling a position?


I’m surprised that when I ask a client (or prospective client) what their cost is to not fill a position, they don’t have a quantifiable response.


Each day that a position goes unfilled, it costs your organization lost revenue and productivity as well as the additional strain on your current employees.


There are ways to calculate the cost per day:

Take the position’s annual salary, divide by 260 working days and multiply by the average days it takes to hire. So for example, if the base pay is $100,000 and it takes 30 days to fill the role; using this calculation, it will cost your organization $384.61 per day to leave this position vacant which is $11,538.46 in 30 days. If the position remains open for four months (which we often see by the time we are contracted to start a search), it’s already cost your organization $46,153.20.
