Brandon Hall Group (for Glassdoor): strong onboarding improved new-hire retention by 82%. The 50% default turnover reduction is our modeling assumption, deliberately below the study ceiling.

Methodology: Survale Candidate Experience ROI White Paper. Sources: LinkedIn Talent Brand Index research (customers with strong talent brands spent up to 43% less per hire on LinkedIn; correlational); Brandon Hall Group for Glassdoor (strong onboarding improved new-hire retention by 82% and productivity by 70%+); Work Institute (first-year attrition); IBM (candidates with positive experiences 38% more likely to accept offers); SHRM ($4,700 average cost per hire). Defaults are set below study ceilings on purpose. Excludes upside from quality of hire, time-to-fill, agency-spend reduction, and revenue protection.
