How does the Hiring Cost Calculator work?

It estimates per-hire cost from three industry inputs (recruiter time, job-board fees, database access) and compares it against UnoJobs unit pricing (₹1,500 per job post, ₹500 per AI interview, ₹30 per database view). Multipliers adjust for role seniority and city tier.

Are the industry benchmarks specific to India?

Yes. Recruiter rates assume ₹1,500–2,500 per hour fully-loaded (India market). Job-board fees use published Naukri / LinkedIn India pricing. The tool does not handle non-India markets right now.

Will the savings hold for senior or leadership hires?

The calculator scales the industry baseline 2x for senior roles (manager, lead, director, VP, CXO) and 0.6x for junior / fresher roles. The 30\% city premium applies to tier-1 metros (Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune).

How accurate is this calculator?

It's a planning estimate, not a quote. We refine the per-hire baseline quarterly using anonymised UnoJobs hiring data (n≥5 employers per cell). For an exact quote tailored to your hiring volume, talk to our team.
