Frequently Asked Questions
What does it cost to hire an employee at a small business?
Based on 5,000 hiring cost analyses, the average SMB cost-to-hire ranges from $2,800 (junior admin) to $9,200 (senior technical). Marketing roles average $4,200; engineering roles average $6,800. Most SMBs underestimate by 40% because they miss interviewing time, onboarding overhead, and reduced productivity during ramp. The Hiring Cost Calculator models all of these.
What's the best job board for small businesses?
LinkedIn is highest volume but also most expensive and competitive. Indeed is the highest-traffic free option. For tech roles, use LinkedIn + Wellfound (AngelList) as a pair. For trades and hourly roles, ZipRecruiter outperforms LinkedIn significantly. For remote-only roles, We Work Remotely and Remote.co consistently outperform Indeed. Use the Job Post Generator for role-specific board recommendations.
When should a small business use a recruiting agency?
Use an agency when: (1) you're hiring 1-2 roles per year and don't have a dedicated recruiter, (2) the role is specialized and hard to source (engineering, finance leadership), or (3) you need to fill it fast. Agency fees are 15-25% of first-year salary — expensive, but cheaper than a 3-month vacancy on a revenue-generating role. The Hiring Cost Calculator models agency vs. in-house vs. DIY for your specific situation.
What HRIS do you recommend for a team of 20?
Gusto for pure payroll + basic HR (best under 50 employees, most affordable). BambooHR for teams that need stronger performance management and headcount tracking. Rippling if you want payroll + IT provisioning + HR in one system (higher cost but saves massive time as you scale). Avoid Workday or SAP below 200 employees — the implementation cost alone exceeds the value.
Generate a job post and calculate your real hiring cost
Run both tools — a great job post finds better candidates faster, and knowing your true cost-to-hire helps you budget and choose the right recruitment method.
