What goes into these numbers
Every figure is grounded in real data from CareerGuard customers and published UK industry research тАФ not marketing guesses.
Recruiter time savings
Based on average 6 minutes per CV review (CIPD 2024) and a 90% reduction in screening time when assessments replace manual sifting. Validated by Unify Solutions’ 2,000+ hours saved figure.
Bad hire cost reduction
CIPD research puts the average cost of a bad hire in the UK at ┬г30,000. Skills-based hiring companies report 25% lower turnover (Burning Glass Institute). We apply a conservative 25% reduction to your bad hire rate.
