The hiring process has a direct impact on a company’s ability to attract and retain the best of the talent. And hiring managers would be the first to accept that the traditional hiring process is anything but smooth or exciting. As per SHRM, 88% of the companies worldwide are already using AI in some form to streamline their hiring, onboarding, and upskilling processes. However, the level of automation in HR is still way behind other business functions such as Sales and Marketing.
“Overall candidate experience, hiring costs, and time it takes to fill a position continue to be major worries for hiring managers,” says Anuj Kanish, Co-Founder and CEO Clapself.
It takes 42-52 days and costs $4,000 to $20,000 to fill an open position, as per Indeed.

The real cost per hire though depends upon many factors including the skill-set required, available talent pool, vetting required, people and processes involved, urgency of the position, and the impact on the business.
“Considering everything, the value of the right hire can easily exceed four times the salary of the position,” adds Dave Sanders, Managing Partner WorldBridge Partners and Advisor to Clapself.
