What does a hire really cost in France?

The figure everyone quotes has no French source and its scope was never defined. This page starts over: what INSEE, DARES, France Travail and APEC actually measure, what English-language benchmarks are worth, and the four cost items to add up to build a hiring cost that holds.

You will also find the only cost per application measured and published in French, with its method and its limits, and a way to set a budget without a magic number: start from your own rates and measure from the first campaign.

To see where you stand, the Talent Attraction Diagnostic gives you your score and your action priorities.
