How to Measure ROI from AI Resume Screening Implementation
Only 25% of AI initiatives deliver expected ROI—but AI resume screening is different. Companies report 30-50% faster time-to-hire (from 44 days to 11 days in some cases), 30-40% cost reduction, and 23 hours saved per hire. Top performers see $8 return for every $1 invested in AI recruiting. 87% of companies now use AI-driven hiring tools. SMEs get 2.5x-6.6x ROI, larger orgs see 8.5x-19.6x. But here's the catch: implementation costs $6,000-50,000+ depending on scale. So how do you actually measure if your AI screening investment is paying off? Track time savings, cost per hire, quality of hire, and recruiter productivity. Here's your complete ROI framework.
