New Hire Cost Calculator
See the true cost of a vacancy - the visible cash, the internal interview time, and the commercial value forgone while a seat sits empty and a new hire ramps. Benchmarked by role and seniority.
New Hire ROI Calculator
Forecast when a new hire pays back the investment: break-even month, onboarding ramp and return over 12-36 months, benchmarked by role and seniority.
New Hire Runway Impact Calculator
Map your team structure, planned hires and burn against your runway: ranked functional gaps, fully-loaded role costs and your Ascent Runway Efficiency Score.
Role Brief Template
A one-page brief that forces clarity before the search starts: outcomes, must-haves, scorecard and deal-breakers.
Structured Interview Kit
Competency-based questions and a scoring rubric your panel can actually run - fair, consistent and predictive.
Hiring Metrics Cheat Sheet
The handful of numbers worth tracking at each stage - time-to-fill, pass-through, quality-of-hire - and how to read them.
Most teams only count the agency fee and sign-on. The real cost of an open role is the contribution it leaves on the table while it sits empty. Adjust the sliders to see both.
