See how it worksWhat is your workforce really costing you?
Salaries only tell part of the story. Slow hiring, absenteeism and attrition quietly drain your budget every month. Plug in a few numbers to see your true workforce cost, and how much you could save, in under 30 seconds.
Step 1
Your workforce at a glance
Your typical contingent headcount across the year
Working days a seat sits empty before a replacement starts
Time it takes to get a new hire fully productive
Share of scheduled work time lost to unplanned absences
US benchmark: about 3.2% for full-time workers (BLS, 2025)
Share of your contingent workforce that leaves in a year
US benchmark: about 40% a year across all jobs (BLS JOLTS, 2025). Hourly and contingent roles often run higher.

01 — The maths
No black box. Here’s how we got your number.
We kept the model simple on purpose, so you can check every figure yourself. Each estimate uses your bill rate and a standard 2,080-hour working year.
1Labour cost
Headcount × hourly bill rate × 2,080 hours. This is the part you already see on every invoice.
2Cost of open roles
When someone leaves, their seat sits empty until a replacement starts. For each departure we count days to fill × 8 hours × bill rate. That’s a conservative figure, since missed output usually costs more than the rate you pay.
3Absenteeism
Unplanned absences are usually covered with overtime or extra temps. We take the hours lost to absence and price that cover at 1.5× the bill rate.
4Attrition and re-hiring
Every departure means sourcing, screening and paperwork. We allow 40 hours of recruiting and admin effort per replacement.
5Training time
A new hire needs time to get up to speed, and so does whoever trains them. We count your training hours twice for every replacement.
And the savings? We apply typical gains from a managed workforce program: 3% on labour, 30% on vacancy and absenteeism costs, and 35% on attrition and training. Your real results will depend on your roles, locations and current processes.
02 — Where we come in
Every cost above has a fix.

Attrition → Managed services
A team that asks why people leave
A dedicated program team tracks exits and acts on them, with better role fit, engagement and redeployment.
Absenteeism → Talent pools
Cover that’s ready when you aren’t
Pre-vetted workers on standby fill gaps quickly, so you lean less on overtime.
Training time → Skills-matched hiring
Productive from week one
Recruiters screen for the exact skills a role needs, so new hires ramp up faster.
