What does the CV pile cost you?
Five numbers you already know, and the annual figure that falls out of them. No email, no gate, nothing sent anywhere — it runs in your browser.
Your desk
Change every one of these. The defaults are a starting position, not a benchmark — we have not measured your market and will not pretend to.
A working year of 46 weeks at 37.5 hours. The hourly rate is base salary only — no employer NI, pension, software or desk — so the real figure is higher than the one shown.

What HireOS costs against it

- Full suite, a year$4,548
What HireOS does not do is take that whole figure back. It removes the reading; somebody still reviews the shortlist and makes every call. Judge it on the trial, on a real role, not on this number.
Book a callHow it is worked out
Four multiplications and a division.
Recruiters × roles a month × applications a role gives CVs a month. Times minutes per CV, divided by sixty, gives hours. Times twelve gives the year.
The salary you typed, divided by a 46-week year at 37.5 hours, gives an hourly rate. Hours times rate is the figure. There is nothing else in it — no benchmark, no multiplier, no assumption of ours.
Read the longer version
We wrote up what the arithmetic means for a desk that loses roles on speed rather than on quality, which is the part the annual figure does not show.
