For Companies
What an open seat, and a wrong hire, is really costing you.
A leadership vacancy isn't a line item that waits politely. It compounds daily, and a mis-hire to end it costs more than the salary. Put in your numbers and see the exposure in dollars, then what speed and a guaranteed placement are worth against it.
Your situation
How this is calculated
Daily vacancy cost = base salary × the value-influence multiple you chose, spread over 260 working days. A leadership seat that only ever returns its own salary isn't a seat worth filling, so we treat it as influencing a multiple of its pay.
Vacancy total = daily cost × (days already open + your expected days to fill).
Mis-hire cost = base salary × a conservative seniority multiplier (1×–3×). SHRM puts hard costs alone near 0.5–0.75× salary; total cost-of-mis-hire estimates reach 1–5× for senior seats once lost productivity, opportunity cost, and team drag are counted.
Your exposure
The cost of getting it wrong
$559,038
A slow search that ends in the wrong hire, the vacancy you're carrying plus the price of redoing it. This is the number a good search is measured against.
Every day it stays open
$1,731/day
Value the empty seat doesn't return, per working day.
The vacancy
$199,038
What you've spent already, plus the run to fill it.
If the hire is wrong
$360,000
Severance, re-recruiting, lost months, and team drag to redo it.
What changes with Bloom
We're built to take that number down.
Every exposure above maps to something we already do. Not a promise, the way we run a search.
Close it sooner
A first slate of pre-vetted, passive operators in the first weeks, drawn from a bench of 30,000+ we already track. Every week we cut off the vacancy is daily-cost back in your pocket.
Lower the odds it's wrong
Candidates are read on substance, not interview polish, before you ever meet them, so the mis-hire scenario above is far less likely to be the one you live.
Cover the downside
Tiered 45 / 90 / 365-day guarantees mean if a placement doesn't hold, we replace it, turning that mis-hire figure from a loss you absorb into a cost we carry.
