ROI Estimator

Generation values employer partners across the globe. We’ve created this tool to help you understand the ROI of a partnership with Generation

Hiring new employees is costly. Many managers believe they understand the costs associated with hiring, but few have full visibility into each cost category.

Recruiting as well as on-boarding and training contribute to nearly 40% of the total cost-per-hire. Turnover can lead to loss of productivity and can contribute to more than 50% of  total cost-per-hire. Generation can calculate these costs for you and provide a solution to make your hiring process more efficient.

*The data is representative of preliminary results Generation gathered through employer surveys

Generation provides employers with a high-performing talent pipeline of entry-level employees that are retained longer, enabling cost-per-hire savings. We consider these savings as the Return on Investment (ROI) for Generation’s program.

The tool below provides a high-level estimate of potential ROI that could be realized through a partnership with Generation.

Please note that the ROI range estimated is dependent on company-specific details.

How many months does it take on average for an employee to ramp up and become fully productive?

The longer an employee takes to reach complete productivity, the higher is the cost per hire

What is your average annual turnover? (% of employees annually)

Turnover results in the need for coverage, often more costly, and additional ramp-up time for replacement

How many days does it typically take your company to hire a new employee when this role turns over?

A role’s vacancy can be costly due to the need to pay overtime, paying supervisors to fill in, and revenue loss because of lacking capacity
