How this is calculated

Lost revenue & productivity = open positions × time-to-hire (days) × revenue/productivity impact per day.
Internal hiring time cost = open positions × people involved × hours spent × hourly rate, where hourly rate is estimated as average annual salary ÷ 2,080 working hours/year.
These are directional estimates meant to size the opportunity, not precise accounting figures.
