Data Entry Automation ROI for Recruitment Businesses

How much is manual data entry costing your recruitment business? See the full ROI breakdown — including 1,196 hours/year, $60K in savings, and a < 14 days payback period.

The True Cost of Manual Data Entry

Every hour your recruitment team spends on manual data entry is an hour they are not spending on strategic work that drives growth. At $48/hour and 25 hours per week, the labor cost alone exceeds $62K per year — before factoring in the cost of errors, rework, employee turnover, and the opportunities you miss while your team is buried in routine tasks.

AI-powered data entry automation changes the economics entirely. Instead of scaling costs linearly with volume, your recruitment business can handle 3,000+ records processed per month with minimal human oversight. The result: a < 14 days payback period and compounding returns as your business grows. Here is the detailed breakdown.
