Hiring is broken — here's what it costs
Every open role burns money, time, and effort before anyone delivers a thing. The numbers below are why we built Hyrde.
Money wasted
What it costs just to fill a seat — before the work even starts.
Average cost to fill a single role
Tech and specialist roles routinely exceed $6,000.

What one bad hire can cost
At minimum ~30% of the employee's first-year salary (U.S. Dept. of Labor).
Source: CareerBuilder
Projected cost to replace an employee in 2026
Recruiting, onboarding, and lost ramp-up time compound fast.
Source: SHRM
of employers admit they've hired the wrong person
Three out of four hiring teams have paid for a mis-hire.
Source: CareerBuilder
Time lost
Weeks of calendar time and days of human attention, per role.
Average time to fill a role
Six weeks of a project stalled before work begins.
Source: SHRM
Spent screening résumés for one hire
50+ hours total across the full hiring process.
Source: Industry benchmarks
Lost productivity for every day a key role stays open
Unfilled roles quietly drain output the whole time.
Source: Industry estimates
Effort wasted
Mountains of applications on one side, paid proposals on the other.
Applications a single posting can attract
300–500+ per posting — only ~5% make it past the first screen.
