Hi Peer,
I went through your Excel sheet. When doing the HR recruitment budget, you have to project the figures at the beginning of the financial year. So, based on the turnover percentage of the previous year, you need to allocate buffer expenses for that year because we are not sure how many people will quit this year and how many need to be recruited through consultants and referrals. To reduce this expense, we need to consider implementing a retention program such as soft awards, cash incentives, vacation packages, etc.
Your sheet indicates that you have recruited 13 overall. What if new projects arise and there is an unexpected need for mass recruitment? I hope you now understand my point.
