Cost per hire calculator
The cost per hire of an event is calculated by dividing everything a company invested in it (attendance, travel, staff time) by the number of hires it produced. Enter your figures, the calculator does the maths for you, and compares two events or two schools side by side.

The method
Invested
What the company or school spent on the event: attendance, travel, staff time.
Attendees and hires
The number of students met during the event, then the number of hires that followed.
Result
What a hire costs, what meeting one student costs, and the share of attendees who end up hired: three figures calculated live from what you typed in.
| General career fair | Targeted event | |
|---|---|---|
| Invested | 8,500 euros | 12,000 euros |
| Attendees | 210 | 41 |
| Hires | 2 | 4 |
| Cost per hire | 4,250 euros | 3,000 euros |
Cost per hire = amount invested divided by hires. The targeted event costs more and hires more: that is what this calculation makes visible.
The limits
- The calculation does not distinguish an internship hire from a permanent hire: add that distinction by hand if it matters to you.
- Staff time is not converted into euros automatically: add it by hand if you want to include it in the calculation.
- The calculator does not know where a hire came from: attributing it to the right event is up to you.
