ATS ROI Calculator
Companies switching from spreadsheets and emails to an ATS save around 10 hours per hire — and thousands of dollars every year. Enter your numbers to see your annual savings. We’ve pre-filled realistic averages so you can test it in seconds. 👇🏼
Where manual hiring slows you down:
📨 Application Management
Manually sorting resumes and emails makes it hard to stay organized — and easy to miss great candidates.
💬 Candidate Follow-Up
Sending individual emails for confirmations, rejections, and reminders takes up hours of repetitive admin work.
👥 Team Collaboration
Gathering feedback and keeping everyone aligned requires constant back-and-forth in Slack, meetings, or spreadsheets.
📊 Progress Tracking
Without a shared overview, tracking candidate status means checking inboxes, updating Excel sheets, or chasing teammates.
Recruitment takes time
Recruitment takes time — but most of that time isn’t spent interviewing great candidates. It’s spent sorting CVs, chasing hiring managers, and sending manual follow-ups.
Use the calculator above to see what that time actually costs your company — and how much you could save every year by using an Applicant Tracking System.
Once you’ve added your numbers, you’ll see:
How many hours your team saves per year
How much money you keep instead of wasting it on admin work
That’s what an ATS like Taleno does automatically — without changing how you hire, just removing everything that slows you down.
Most small businesses underestimate how expensive “doing it manually” really is.
Even if you only hire 10–20 people a year, the hours add up quickly.
Every recruitment easily takes 10–15 hours of admin work — mostly repetitive tasks like posting ads, sorting applications, sending rejections, and booking interviews.
At an average loaded cost of $60 per hour, that’s $600–900 per hire. Multiply that by your yearly hires, and you’ll see why spreadsheets and inboxes are a hidden expense.
And the cost isn’t just time or money — it’s also lost candidates.
When the process drags, candidates move on.
According to LinkedIn, 42% of candidates drop off when communication is slow or inconsistent. That’s the real price of not having structure.
