Screening cost calculator
What a first round costs when a recruiter runs it by hand, in hours and in ringgit, set against the price of running it through an AI interviewer. Change the numbers to your own.

How your candidates answer:
Employer cost is taken as 1.2x salary, spread across a 22-day month of 8-hour days. What you pay us has no employer cost to add to it, which is what makes the two columns comparable.

Estimates, not guaranteed cash savings. You pay for each action as you run it, so a month is the comparison rather than a billing cycle.
The assumptions it starts from
- A recruiter paid RM 5,000 a month, costing the employer about RM 6,000 a month in total.
- 22 working days a month, 8 hours a day.
- 20 minutes of recruiter time for each first-round screening.
Every one of those is somebody else’s number until you change it, which is the point of the calculator. The arithmetic behind it, and why screening time is the part of hiring that breaks first at volume, is in how to screen two hundred applicants for one role.
