How much do unfilled jobs cost in different industries?

Loss of revenue due to unfilled positions

Currently, it takes an average of 149 days in this country for a vacant position in a company to be filled (as of September 2022, Federal Employment Agency). This means that the time it takes to fill vacant positions is currently at its highest level. The current shortage of skilled workers is further exacerbating the problem. The crux of the matter is that an unfilled vacancy means high daily costs for companies. This is because a lack of staff means that a company loses the revenue that an employee generates every day. According to the Stepstone job portal, this averages 29,000 euros per vacancy.
