DOFIES vs hiring an in-house team.
What the same jobs cost when you hire people, and what they cost as DOFIES offices.

Illustrative. In-house cost per role is €57,600 to €86,000 a year fully loaded (EU average hourly labour cost of €33.5 x 1,720 hours, our assumption, up to a UK fully loaded £75,000 converted at £1 = €1.15). Tools are extra. Rounded to the nearest thousand.
What people do that Dofies do not.
A hire brings judgment, relationships and accountability that you cannot copy. Dofies do the repeatable work in each office and put it in front of you to approve. For many teams the answer is a few key people plus Dofies, not one or the other.
In-house vs DOFIES, answered.
How much does an in-house marketing employee cost?
About €57,600 to €86,000 a year fully loaded in our model, which is €4,800 to €7,200 a month per person. The low figure is the EU average hourly labour cost of €33.5 times 1,720 hours (our assumption). The high figure is a UK fully loaded cost of £75,000 converted to euro. Tools are extra.
Does a DOFIES office replace a whole team?
It covers the same jobs, so it is a fair way to compare cost. Dofies propose and you approve, so this is the cost of hiring the same number of roles, not a promise that every role disappears.
What does the whole floor cost compared with hiring?
All 19 offices, 79 Dofies, are €1,590 a month. Hiring 79 people in-house would cost roughly €379,000 to €568,000 a month in the same model.
