The economics of AI recruiting
A Deloitte-cited study found AI-augmented recruitment can slash cost-per-hire by up to 70%, while PwC case research shows 45% faster time-to-hire. For sectors with sky-high turnover, those numbers are transformative.
Why traditional recruiting bleeds cash
- Manual résumé screening adds ≈23 days per vacancy.
- Agency mark-ups push average cost-per-hire above US $4k.
- Poor fit drives 30% first-year attrition.
