What type of person? How many? When?

Deciding when to staff – how many people – what types of skills sets – can be overwhelming. Even adding headcount to an already established technical team can be daunting. With so many variables to consider, many hiring managers find themselves overwhelmed by the responsibilities that come with planning and budgeting for resources.

A simple needs analysis of your organization and its business objectives will start you on the right path to determining staff ratios and hiring timelines. Once these factors are determined, creating an effective job requisition that will attract the talent you need is the next step.
