An Insight into YORISOI's Game-Changing Metrics
In an ambitious move, YORISOI, a prominent HR company based in Shibuya, Tokyo, has published its latest findings on recruitment strategies titled
"2026 Edition: Six Evaluation Metrics for Candidate Acquisition in Recruitment Firms." This report meticulously organizes and evaluates the effectiveness and cost-efficiency of various candidate sourcing services including Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO).
Key Findings: Cost Structures of Candidate Acquisition Services
YORISOI's report dissects several models of candidate sourcing, presenting a comparative analysis of cost implications. The breakdown is as follows:
- - Interview Sitting Charge Model: Ranges from ¥14,000 to ¥35,000 per interview, with fees incurred upon interview execution.
- - Registration and Referral Charge Model: Costs anywhere from several thousand yen to ¥20,000 per candidate, billed at the point of providing candidate information.
- - Database Model: Monthly fees between ¥30,000 and ¥50,000, wherein candidates are contacted and scheduled through the companies themselves.
- - RPO Model: Pricing varies based on support content, allowing for the centralization of candidate sourcing processes.
Note: Prices can fluctuate based on job type, region, contract duration, number of requests, and scope of support offered.
Essential Metrics for Evaluating Recruitment Success
The report emphasizes not just the cost per application (CPA), but six crucial metrics that should guide recruitment effectiveness:
1.
Valid Application Count: The number of applications that meet specified criteria such as age, region, desired position, and timing of job change.
2.
Valid Application Rate: Calculated as Valid Applications ÷ Total Applications.
3.
Valid Application CPA: Represents the cost of sourcing ÷ Valid Applications.
4.
Interview Sitting Rate: The ratio of sitting interviews to scheduled interviews.
5.
Total Interview Sitting Cost: Comprehensive advertising costs divided by the number of sit-in interviews.
6.
Conversion CPA: The overall cost of candidate sourcing divided by the number of successful placements.
The essence of effective recruitment transcends merely reducing application costs. A high volume of unsuitable applications or frequent interview cancellations can inflate the final Conversion CPA, emphasizing the need to assess the quality of the candidate pool comprehensively, including metrics like valid applications, interview sitting rates, and conversion rates.

- - Cases of applications soaring from 2 to 255 monthly, culminating in 10 confirmed hires.
Note: These examples reflect varied client experiences and conditions, and hence, achievements may differ based on recruitment parameters.
Calculating ROI from Investment
According to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, the average recruitment fee for securing permanent employment is around ¥1,030,000. Given the monthly fee of ¥250,000 for Recruitment-kun, this suggests a potential net advertising budget of ¥780,000 available for deployment:
- - Total Revenue from a Successful Hire = ¥1,030,000
- - Cost (Monthly Fee) = ¥250,000
- - Net Investment Available for Advertising = ¥1,030,000 - ¥250,000 = ¥780,000
In scenarios where total business expenses, including advertising and media costs, do not exceed ¥1,030,000, acquiring even one successful placement via this investment could yield profitable returns.
Disclaimer: Actual commission rates and profitability will depend on job type, expected income, and associated costs, among other factors, which may influence the overall financial outcome.
