What could your database be worth?

This calculator gives an indicative view of the potential upside, modelled on benchmarks from Australian recruitment agencies running automated referral programmes. It is not a promise or a guarantee. The numbers assume your consultants actively engage the referrals RefeRec surfaces: contacting them, qualifying them and converting them. RefeRec handles the automation side; the human work of landing placements still sits with your team.

Here is how we model the numbers:

• Potential Additional Placements: We size the potential off your consultant headcount, not your existing placements. Each active consultant could generate 2 to 4 referrals per month (you can tune this on the slider; default is 2), and roughly one in four of those referrals converts into a placement when consultants engage them promptly. So potential additional placements per year = consultants × referrals per consultant × 12 × 25%. This reflects how referrals behave in practice: when consultants ask at the right moment, candidates point them to good people they already know.
• Potential Time-to-Hire: Referred candidates typically close around 60% faster than candidates sourced through cold channels. We apply that benchmark to your stated time-to-hire to estimate the potential time saved per referred placement and across the year.

All figures are indicative estimates based on industry benchmarks. Your actual results will depend on your team, your sector and how actively your consultants engage the referrals generated.
