I am looking for a headcount forecast by month template
Answers
Anon,
Without much detail in the question, I do this two ways.
1) I use metrics, for example if I plan on having a sales rep drive $1M in revenue, with some ramp, I create a formula against the Sales forecast that shows when that person needs to be hired in order to hit that sales goal.
2) I use the actual Plan of Record, based on Managers' permission to hire, judged down by my experience on how fast they can effectively hire.
I usually use both in any forecast. The former acts as a mini-P&L for the VP of Sales so that they can work interactively with me to plan for hiring based on their own commitment to the ramp.
Cheers,
KP
