We have developed three wrong hire estimators for you to use to determine the costs of hiring the wrong person. 

• The Concise Approach takes about 5 minutes to complete and you get a one-page write up of the cost range of hiring the wrong person. 
• The Extended Approach asks for 5 sets of direct and indirect costs and also generates a one-page report. 
• The Comprehensive Approach asks you to complete several dozen cost estimates and gives you a two-page report. 

We recommend starting with the approach that makes the most sense for your needs and strongly recommend using all three approaches, since they examine the cost of hiring the wrong person in different ways.  Read a fuller description of each cost estimator below.

 The Abelson Wrong Hire Cost Estimator™ - Extended Approach To Estimate Staff Costs (Beta)

This estimator asks you to specify the direct and indirect costs for five (5) areas related to staffing issues.  These five areas are
1) Recruiting costs
2) Interviewing and Hiring costs
3) Compensation and Other Financial costs
4) Managing and Leading costs
5) Termination costs.

EEach area also has a listing of specific cost issues to include when estimating the costs of each of these five primary areas. Giving estimates for each of these areas is relatively easy to do and the estimator does not require or need exact figures for any of them.

The Abelson Wrong Hire Cost Estimator™ - Comprehensive Approach To Estimate Staff Costs( Beta)

This is the most comprehensive approach and the most accurate to estimate staffing costs.  It allows you to specifically document estimates for dozens of staffing related costs.  IIt also lets decision makers see the costs associated with the different specific areas so they can more accurately make decisions regarding costs, solution alternatives, and timelines for implementing needs. Giving estimates for each of these areas is requires a little more time from the person answering the questions because of their specificity, but remember the calculator does not require or need exact figures for any of them. You receive a two page worksheet with your cost estimates and the range of staffing costs for that position.
