What could your team get back?

Time first. Revenue equivalent second.

Time returned = task count × share handled with Kaiya × (current minutes − minutes with Kaiya) ÷ 60.

Annual revenue equivalent = monthly hours returned × 12 ÷ annual working hours per person × annual revenue per person.

Annual Kaiya licence cost = team members × Select’s annual-billing price per user per month × 12. We use Kaiya’s published prices in the selected currency, not an exchange-rate conversion. See pricing.

Value after licence cost = annual revenue equivalent − annual licence cost. Capacity-based ROI = value after licence cost ÷ annual licence cost × 100.

We assume one Select licence per team member, billed annually, for a full paid year. The introductory free month is not deducted; no additional tax or implementation allowance is included. This calculator does not determine which usage allowance your workload requires.

The financial result values capacity. It does not predict new client demand, additional placements, cash savings or headcount reductions. Zero use still incurs licence cost; with no team members, ROI is undefined.

Workload and role allocation

New assignments drive the full lifecycle’s research and candidate work in a steady-state monthly estimate. Active assignments drive recurring progress reports; partner counts drive business development. For a month with a changing pipeline, override the individual task counts.

We allocate each task once across the roles present, using headcount × the relative task weights below, then normalise to 100%. These fixed model weights describe assumed ownership, not measured role-level savings.

If the modelled baseline work exceeds a role’s available working hours, we reduce all task estimates proportionally and show a warning. Hours returned never exceed the time available.

Included and excluded

Kaiya timings include source preparation, prompting, checking, corrections and finishing. Reports reuse reviewed material; CRM timings cover recording it. We do not add the same research or note-writing time again.

We leave live interviews, client conversations, judgement, negotiation and selection unchanged. Direct CRM-write time applies only to Invenias; other firms retain the research and document estimates.

Share or prefill an estimate

“Copy estimate link” saves the inputs in the URL fragment. No account or email is required. Anyone with the link can read those inputs; do not add confidential information.

Start with /roi-calculator#v=1 and append &name=value for each input. Use #, not ?. Names and listed values are case-sensitive. Enter numbers without currency symbols or thousands separators.

Set currency in shared links. A v=1 link defaults to USD; a fresh page without estimate parameters uses your browser locale. If you omit revenue, the default is 265,800EUR, 227,700GBP, 300,000USD.

All estimates use Select with annual billing, including older links containing licence or billing parameters. Licence costs follow current published prices; a saved estimate is not a price guarantee.

Task overrides

Append taskId.volume for tasks per month (0–100,000), taskId.current for current minutes per task, or taskId.kaiya for minutes with Kaiya (both 0–10,000). Decimals are allowed. Omitted values use the defaults below; a custom monthly count stays fixed when you change the workload.

Task IDs, monthly volume rules and minutes per task

longlist	Candidate discovery & longlist	1 per new assignment	480	180
profile	Candidate evidence & profile	8 per new assignment	30	15
interview	Interview notes & report	6 per new assignment	40	20
pack	Longlist / shortlist report pack	2 per new assignment	60	25
progress	Assignment progress report	2 per active assignment / month	30	12
records	Candidate / company record updates (Invenias only)	40 per new assignment	4	1.5
activity	Activity & assignment logging (Invenias only)	7 per new + 2 per active assignment	5	2

Example: 3 partners, 6 research & delivery staff, 2 support staff, 12 active assignments and 3 new per month. Invenias, EUR250,000 revenue per person, 60% Kaiya use and 1,800 working hours per year. Override candidate profiles to 30 per month at 30 current minutes and 10 with Kaiya.
