Know who you will need. Before you need them.
hr goat works out who is likely to leave, what that leaves you short of, and who already works here that could do the job instead.
First: who will still be here next year?
It counts who you have, takes off the people already leaving, and works out how many more usually go in a year. That is your starting point.
- 1Who you have today
- 2Who has already resigned
- 3How many usually leave
- 4Who you are left with
It works that out by how long people have been here. Somebody in their first year is far more likely to leave than somebody in their fifth.
And if you have not been going long enough for it to know, it says so instead of guessing.
Next: how many people do you need?
Four ways to tell it. Pick whichever one matches how you already think about it.
A rule of thumb
One support agent for every 250 customers. You tell it the customer number.
Grow what you have
Grow sales by 30%. It does the sums on the sales jobs you already have.
Copy what works
Open a Leeds office like the Manchester one. It copies what Manchester is made of.
Just list them
You already know. Type the jobs and how many of each you want.
No AI guessing your headcount. Every number comes from your own records or from what you typed.
Fill the gap from inside before you advertise.
For every job you are short of, three options, with real names against them.
Somebody here who could do the job now.
Somebody nearly there, and the training that gets them there.
What is actually left once you have looked inside.
Anna moves up. Now Sales Lead is empty.
Every move shows you the hole it leaves behind. If that hole is a job you are already short of, it says so now, rather than letting you find out in March.
One AI across all of it, and every module is in every plan.
It tells you when it is guessing.
Most planning tools print a confident number and let you build a budget on it. This one labels every figure with how much to trust it.
A fact, already written down. A contract that ends in March.
You typed it. We use it as it is and never pass it off as ours.
Worked out from enough history to be worth trusting.
Worked out from very little. Still shown, but flagged as thin.
A rough guess never gets a neat range drawn round it. A range around a guess is still a guess.
Nothing happens until you say yes.
Build as many plans as you like and compare them. When you pick one, it creates draft job openings, suggested moves and recommended training for a person to approve. It never changes anybody’s job, pay or contract on its own, and it never decides who gets promoted.
Costs show as team totals, and only to people allowed to see pay. One person’s salary never appears anywhere in here.
See what next year looks like.
Answer eight questions. It builds the rest from what you already have.
