How to Create a Hiring Plan for Rapid Growth in a Large Business Unit?

Garima Chaudhary
Dear All,

I am actually looking for a recruitment plan or hiring plan. How is a plan on a yearly or quarterly basis done?

I have a scenario. There is a Business Unit of 1500 employees and 6 Sub Business Units (SBUs). If the company wants to grow by 40% year on year, but the head of Business Unit wants the Business Unit to grow by 60% on a quarterly basis. The Pre-Sales team is saying that they have some deals in the pipeline, and if they secure them, the Business Unit will require at least 450 more employees than the current number.

Please tell me how we will be able to create the hiring plan. If this is not understandable, please explain how we can create a simple hiring plan based on the future plan.

Regards,
Garima

Don't you think shredding or hiring depends a lot on requirements? One doesn't just hire people for the sake of hiring. Even if the pre-sales team informs you about projects in the pipeline, they do mention the requirements. Based on that, you determine how many people will be needed to take on the project.

Please be more conclusive with it! It seems like you only want to hire 450 more people, nothing else.

You may have more inputs from the business to arrive at a hiring plan. What is the basis of 450 numbers? Why not 300 or 600? Maybe it is based on productivity per person or some other parameters. JD preparation and sharing are based on the inputs and expectations of the business. Then sourcing channels need to be identified. TAT - Turnaround Time. And the process follows...

You have to converse with your line manager or pre-sales guys about expected sales deals in the upcoming days. Discuss the number and type of persons, their roles, productivity, and job descriptions. Then, by understanding the business strategy, proceed with the Job Analysis (JA) process for each job. Avoid creating unrealistic expectations regarding the number of workers needed. Instead, focus on understanding the business needs and plans and proactively align with the strategy.

Hi,

Re: Conflict Handling

Could anyone provide me with a useful presentation or details on "Conflict Handling"? I am required to conduct training for some of our staff on how to manage conflict.

Thanks.
