It encompasses recruiter time, job board fees, assessment platform costs, agency fees, and other sourcing expenses tracked or calculated alongside Zoho Recruit data.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Tracking Costs in Zoho Recruit<\/h2>\n<p>Zoho Recruit allows custom fields to be added to Job Openings to record hiring costs such as job board spend, agency fees, and assessment costs. While Zoho Recruit does not function as an accounting tool, it stores cost data at the opening level which can be exported and used to calculate Cost-per-Hire. Integration with Zoho Books or Zoho Analytics enables more structured cost reporting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Using Cost-per-Hire for Sourcing Decisions<\/h2>\n<p>Combining Cost-per-Hire data with Source Effectiveness data reveals the true value of each sourcing channel. A job board that costs Rs 20,000 per posting but produces one hire of average quality is less efficient than an employee referral programme that produces higher-quality hires at a fraction of the cost. Indian companies using Zoho Recruit can use this analysis to optimise their sourcing mix and reduce unnecessary spend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\"><strong>Example:<\/strong> An FMCG company in Pune spends Rs 1,80,000 on job board listings, recruiter salaries, and assessment tools during a quarter in which they make 12 hires. Their Cost-per-Hire for that period is Rs 15,000. Comparing this against industry benchmarks helps them assess the efficiency of their sourcing strategy.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-related-pills\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/source-effectiveness-zoho-recruit\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Source Effectiveness<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/time-to-fill-zoho-recruit\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Time-to-Fill<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/referral-zoho-recruit\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Referral<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/job-opening-zoho-recruit\/\" class=\"gt-related-pill sp-content-link\">Job Opening<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\"><strong>What is Cost-per-Hire in Zoho Recruit?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cost-per-Hire in Zoho Recruit is the total hiring expenditure divided by the number of hires, tracked using custom fields on Job Openings.
