What Relio does

Hiring decisions, with the math underneath

Most hiring decisions get made in spreadsheets, rough assumptions, and last-minute decks. Relio gives you a structured system instead.

Model one decision

What is this role costing while it stays open? Should it be full-time, contractor, or fractional? What happens if you wait 90 days?

Compare options

Agency vs internal. Hire now vs next quarter. FTE vs contractor vs fractional. Backfill as-is vs restructure. Side-by-side, with the assumptions visible.

Build decision-ready outputs

Show the math. Save the scenario. Export a brief that holds up in front of leadership, a board, or a CFO who wants to see how you got there.

What an output looks like

Numbers you can trace

Two illustrative examples. The actual outputs depend on your inputs and assumptions.

Vacancy cost analysis

"Your VP of Sales role at $220K has been open 14 weeks. Estimated vacancy cost to date: $98,000. Biggest driver: lost pipeline at $7,000/week."

→ Show the math · Compare search methods · Save to workspace

FTE vs contractor comparison

"At 12 months, FTE total cost: $268,000. Contractor total cost: $241,000. At 24 months, FTE becomes cheaper. Break-even: month 18."

→ Show the math · Try fractional path · Save scenario

Every output shows its inputs, the calculation path, and what came from your data versus a benchmark. Good output should survive inspection.

Built for

The people who have to make, support, or explain hiring decisions
