Common Questions

  • Headcount forecasting combines future sales data to predict hiring needs with historical performance data — like workload and management ratios — to determine the right levels and positions.

    Once demand is clear, historic recruiting performance — like time-to-fill and conversion rates — helps forecast the recruiting capacity needed. Historical workload and management ratios then determine the right levels and positions.

  • 1) Link headcount to production to forecast the net new roles needed for growth.

    2) Apply org design ratios (manager:employee, employee:support) to shape levels and compensation.

    3) Leverage historical plan data on progress and changes to predict actual demand.

    4) Build a recruiting capacity vs. demand forecast to ensure the plan is attainable.

  • Headcount forecasting builds the baseline estimate of roles needed to meet demand, usually before the plan starts. Scenario planning models the impact of potential changes — like org design, budget, or recruiting demand — and can be used during forecasting or anytime managers update their needs.
