A note on these numbers: These figures are estimates. The benchmarks are industry averages for temp, labour hire, and contract recruitment. Your current cost is based on the references you run and the time your team spends on each, at an assumed labour cost of $45 an hour, not a per-check platform fee. Brindle figures use annual-plan pricing, the lower of our two rates; monthly plans cost more, and your recommended plan follows your monthly volume.
