How to think about this before hiring

1

Why vacancy cost matters

Every unfilled engineering role can delay delivery, overload existing teams and slow revenue work. The cost is not only salary; it includes missed output, delayed releases and management time.

2

Simple formula

Monthly vacancy cost can be estimated as role monthly value multiplied by productivity impact, plus hiring delay and interview overhead.

3
