What this calculator does

The calculator estimates your annual recruitment savings and the to time-to-hire improvement with Jobtrain.

In a couple of minutes you’ll see how much time and budget you can save by managing recruitment with our ATS. The calculator turns everyday activity, sourcing, screening and scheduling, into clear numbers, so you can spot where the gains come from and what to change first.

Why it helps

When you’re making a case for change, you need more than just opinion. This calculator tool replaces assumptions with numbers your finance team can get behind, highlights wasted effort across the process and shows value beyond pure cost. From faster hiring, a better candidate experience and stronger compliance. It also gives hiring managers a straightforward view of time saved per hire, so everyone is aligned.

How to use it (about two minutes)

Add in how many roles you hire each year, how long the main steps take and how much agency support you use. Add hourly rates (or keep our defaults) and you’ll get an instant savings estimate. We can then turn that into a more detailed personalised ROI plan for your organisation.

What your results include

You’ll get a clear summary you can share straight away. It shows estimated annual savings in pounds (from reduced admin, lower agency reliance and quicker time-to-hire) and the hours saved for HR and hiring managers.

Why choose our ATS

  • Flexible configuration, without the complexity: enterprise-grade capabilities that hiring managers can pick up quickly.
  • Automation where it matters: scheduling, communications, screening and approvals all taken care of.
  • Compliance and security built in: designed around UK and Ireland requirements, with a clear audit trail.
  • A partnership approach: we don’t just implement and leave you to it, we help you embed best practice and keep improving.
