It is the balance of demand and supply in a corporate organisation.
Why it matters
A headcount gap in a critical department hits production or service delivery. This metric shows where recruitment should give priority, and where contingent labour is covering a gap.
Where it goes wrong
The headcount plan sits in a spreadsheet and the actual headcount in the HRIS, with different department names. Without a fixed link between the two, you compare different structures.
How Dashly calculates it
Dashly calculates it per month from the HRIS and the headcount plan, per department, with open vacancies per department from the ATS next to it.
