The Cost Of The Unfilled Position

What is the value of an established relationship with an executive search firm such as 5-Star Hospitality for current and future hiring needs? The equation below can help you determine how much money your organization saves by eliminating the unfilled position.

Using a pre-established relationship with a search firm has value because it greatly decreases the time to fill open positions, and it reduces the cost of lost revenue from not having that position filled. A vacant position can cost your company or firm hundreds of millions of dollars across all open and unfilled hiring needs. To calculate how much an unfilled job costs you, use the following equation (this equation has been extremely simplified for illustration purposes):

Step 1
Annual revenue generated by company         =  Rev per employee per year
Number of revenue generating employees
Step 2
Revenue per employee per year          =  Daily revenue per employee
365 Days (not adjusted for vacation and holidays)
Step 3
Daily revenue per employee  X  Days position unfilled  =  Revenue lost per day per unfilled job
Step 4
Revenue lost per day   X  Number of open jobs  =  Total revenue lost per day for all open jobs per unfilled job

Total revenue lost per day for all open jobs can easily approach millions of dollars for an organization when using this simplified formula.
