# Time and cost calculator: LinkedIn extensions for candidate databases and CRM

- Scenario assumptions and calculations
- Define the outcome and records
- A pilot on the complete workflow
- Rules, exceptions and work cost
- Apply the workflow in HICE
- Choose the next step

This calculator values time spent on a repeated operation. Enter volume, minutes before and after, hourly cost and periods: results depend on your assumptions and support a concrete pilot.

## Scenario assumptions and calculations

Scenario: a team processes 50 operations per week for four weeks. Initial assumption: 12 minutes per operation; connected-workflow assumption: 8 minutes. Time valued at 35 currency units/hour. Calculation gives 13.33 hours and 466.67 currency units/month. These are simulated values to validate with team measurements.

| Measure | Value |
| --- | --- |
| 50 × 4 | 200 |
| (12 − 8) × 200 / 60 | 13.33 |
| 13.333… × 35 | 466.67 |

## Define the outcome and records

For this topic the control starts with LinkedIn profile previews, saved fields and duplicates.

An ATS organizes applications, vacancies, stages and feedback. A candidate database retains profiles beyond one hiring process; a recruiting CRM connects client relationships to open searches. One person can have several applications, each with its own status.

Record vacancy requirements and criteria, link a candidate, assign the interview and save feedback and next action on the application. Test two vacancies for one profile: history must distinguish the decisions.

## A pilot on the complete workflow

Open a LinkedIn profile, review preview fields and try saving it twice. Evaluate what actually enters the database and how duplicates are avoided, rather than advertised profile counts.

Before the demo, write three required outcomes and one acceptable tradeoff. Value recovered time only after measuring on the same basis. Have the actual owner complete a cycle and retain errors, corrections and final output. If the pilot stops halfway, identify the missing module, integration or step in the quotation.

## Rules, exceptions and work cost

Define who enters, corrects and approves records. Test an incomplete record, a duplicate and a change after closure. The decision changes when records can be exported with relationships rather than manually reconstructed. Count licenses, onboarding, team time and integration maintenance separately.

## Apply the workflow in HICE

The HICE extension prepares a record from a LinkedIn profile: review the preview and save the candidate or contact. Its advantage is continuing in the ATS or CRM pipeline with notes and relationships connected to the record.

## Choose the next step

Open the related solution, review pricing for your market and test the case on your records. Keep the template as a workflow reference and use the country ranking to explore other category options.

## Model your own numbers

Initial values are editable assumptions. The result measures time valued at your rate, not guaranteed additional revenue.
