How to Conquer Budget Planning

Getting the budget right for open jobs can mean having the right employees to drive the company’s growth or risk cutting back important initiatives and burning out existing employees.

Your company has been taking off, and you're shifting into high gear for hiring. Do you know your budget for your new hires?

Your organization is probably in the annual process of creating a budget. For rapidly growing companies, new hire salaries are your most considerable expense. Getting the budget right for open jobs can mean having the right employees to drive the company's growth or risk cutting back important initiatives and burning out existing employees. 

Maybe you're the CFO facilitating the budget for next year's salaries, including new hires. Or you're leading the People team and need to determine how much talent the company can afford while staying within budget, and you're working with leaders to prioritize hiring. When it comes to new hire budgeting, it's essential to balance fiscal responsibility with market competitiveness and internal equity while staying true to the company's values and compensation philosophy. Where do you even start?
