How not to lose $100k on hiring?
7 Hiring Rules
From a Recruiter & a CFO
After the webinar, you'll be able to
Seven concrete management skills you'll take home right after the session.
Know when to open a role
No guesswork — based on concrete financial triggers.
Calculate the cost of an open vacancy
Translate every month of delay into euros on your P&L.
Estimate the price of a bad hire
Full cost: severance, ramp-up, lost revenue, team churn.
Calculate the ROI of a new hire
Understand if a role will pay off — and how fast — before the offer.
Know when to stop searching and hire
When 'perfect' costs more than 'good enough' — and how to make the call.
Choose: agency or in-house
By numbers, not by habit. When each option truly wins.
Make hiring calls with numbers
Turn HR decisions into financial ones — with metrics and payback periods.
Real cases we'll break down
Six situations from John Galt and Evotym's practice. Each one — with real numbers and a decision.
Executive Search
Hiring at C-level: what it really costs, how to compute payback, and where companies leak money.
Hiring Sales
When a commercial role behaves like an investment — and when it burns cash without return.
Hiring a Head of Department
Valuing a role that doesn't produce output itself, but drives it through a team.
International Hiring
When it pays to hire abroad: salary spread, EOR, currency and tax exposure.
When the CEO does the open role's work
The most expensive 'savings' in a startup. We'll price it in lost revenue.
Perfect candidate vs. good enough now
When waiting costs more than hiring. Simple math for the call.
What we'll cover
Six topics at the intersection of finance and hiring. Nikolajs on the money, Anastasia on the people. The rules emerge in between.
Cost of an open vacancy
How much the business bleeds every month a position stays unfilled.
Cost of a bad hire
Why the wrong hire costs a company several monthly salaries — and often more.
Hiring ROI
How to assess whether a new hire will pay off — before they even start.
In-house HR vs. agency
When each option actually wins — with real numbers.
International hiring
When to hire globally and how to factor in salary and geo differences.
Sales in numbers
How to tell if your sales team is actually producing profit — not just activity.
