How much Zeenna could bring you each year, item by item, with the calculation and sources

Zeenna can take over first contact, prescreening and the interview for every applicant. Below are 12 items where you could see the effect, plus the time to review outputs, which we deduct. You can switch any item off, count only part of it or change its assumptions; the figure at the top updates instantly.

What Zeenna could bring you each year

€353,960

Estimate assuming Zeenna takes over first contact, prescreening and the interview for all ~12,000 applicants a year, and your team handles only those who pass. The sum of the three layers below: indicative potential, not a promise.

Hard savings €80,900Hiring speed €153,390Quality, talent pool and budget €119,670

The hard savings are 3,506 hours of work a year, the capacity of roughly 2 full-time positions. Your team can spend that time on the applicants who pass. (1 full-time position = 1,760 h a year, 220 working days × 8 h)

4Fewer manager interviews, shorter prep

240 h × CZK 740/h manager hourly cost€7,220

The score and structured report may narrow the shortlist, so the manager would hold fewer interviews; for the ones they do hold, preparation would not start from scratch. The share of avoided interviews is based on studies of the accuracy of structured and algorithmic assessment.

5Fewer wasted interview slots (no-shows)

Reminders, self-scheduling and an interview soon after applying may reduce interview no-shows. The manager would not lose the booked slot and the recruiter would not have to arrange a replacement.

2 · Hiring speed

positions filled earlier and fewer no-show delays × daily value of an unfilled position

+ €153,390

6Positions filled earlier

With a reply within hours, even at night, and an interview within 24 hours instead of days of waiting, the position could be filled earlier.

€143,090

Counted100%
+How we calculate it, and our sources
320 hires × 5 days earlier1,600 days
× CZK 2,200/day (daily value of an unfilled position)€143,090

The candidate can get a reply within hours, even at night, and an interview within 24 hours instead of days of waiting, so the position could be filled earlier. Daily value of a position = the role's daily labour cost (the cost-of-vacancy framework uses 1–3×).

12No hiring delay from no-shows

When a candidate misses the interview, a replacement candidate and a new slot have to be found, and the position stays unfilled longer. Fewer no-shows would mean fewer such delays.

€10,300

Counted100%

115 × 1 day hiring delay115.2 days
× CZK 2,200/day (daily value of an unfilled position)€10,300

A candidate who misses the interview usually drops out. A replacement candidate and a new slot have to be found, and the position stays unfilled in the meantime. The number of days is an average across all no-shows; use your own experience.

3 · Quality, talent pool and budget

Not a cash saving but capacity you don't have today: Zeenna could interview everyone, so you would choose from the whole pool. Valued at what the same work would cost if done by people.

8Lower job-advertising spend

Fewer lost candidates could mean fewer paid applications for the same number of hires.

€5,850

Counted100%
+How we calculate it, and our sources
Paid applications a year: 12,000 applications × 70% from paid advertising8,400
Annual advertising spend: 8,400 × CZK 160 per application€54,630
With a reply within hours, 12% fewer candidates could be lost → the same number of hires needs 8,400 ÷ 1.12 applications7,500
Applications you would not need to buy: 8,400 − 7,500 = 900 × CZK 160€5,850

Today some candidates drop out before anyone gets to them (per Robert Half, 62% lose interest if no one gets back to them within two weeks), and the company replaces them with more paid applications. If Zeenna replies and interviews straight away, more of the applications you pay for could stay in the process.

9Fewer early leavers (better selection)

A structured interview with every candidate and consistent scoring may improve selection.

€16,910

The calculation is an indicative estimate of potential, not a promise or an accounting saving; whether and to what extent it materialises depends on your processes and on how you use the time it frees up. Defaults come from independent sources (statistical offices, professional bodies, peer-reviewed studies), not from recruiting-software vendors. Zeenna is a tool with human oversight: decisions about candidates are always made by a person.
