The median cost of filling a single vacancy stands at £1,500 in 2012 (XpertHR Benchmarking subscription required).This is according to XpertHR Benchmarking research on key recruitment metrics in 2012.
The typical cost per hire is significantly higher in the private sector than it is in the public sector, perhaps reflecting the impact of spending cuts on levels of recruitment activity in the public sector.
How are recruitment costs changing in the current economic climate?
The survey also looks at how recruitment costs have changed over the past year:
- Two-fifths of employers report that the typical cost of filling a vacancy has fallen.
- Just over a quarter say it has stayed the same, while just under a quarter say it has increased.
- But this picture changes markedly in the public sector, where just under two-thirds report that the cost of recruitment has dropped.
