How We Calculate ATS ROI
The ROI formula accounts for two savings: time savings (fewer hours screening resumes with AI) and cost savings (switching from expensive per-seat ATS to flat-rate pricing). Industry data shows recruiters spend an average of 12 hours per hire on manual screening, while AI-powered ATS tools reduce this to 3.5 hours — a savings of 8.5 hours per position filled (RecruitCRM, 2026).
Why CurriculoATS Delivers Higher ROI
Three factors drive CurriculoATS ROI above legacy platforms:
- Flat pricing ($100/mo (early bird: $50/mo)) vs per-seat pricing. A 10-person hiring team on Greenhouse pays $15K+/yr. On CurriculoATS: $600/yr. That’s $14,400 saved before counting time savings. See our pricing page for details.
- Outcome-based AI screening reduces false rejections. Keyword-matching ATS platforms reject 75% of resumes — including qualified candidates who describe skills differently. CurriculoATS Impact Scoring evaluates measurable results, catching candidates that keyword filters miss.
- 15-minute setup vs 6–12 week implementation. No professional services fees ($5K–$25K at Greenhouse), no dedicated implementation manager, no training workshops. Your team is live in the time it takes to fill out a form.
The average cost-per-hire in the US is $4,700 (Glassdoor). For a startup making 20 hires per year, that’s $94,000 in hiring costs. CurriculoATS reduces time-to-hire by up to 40% and cuts cost-per-hire through automation — resulting in ROI that typically exceeds 500% in the first year.
