HR — Headcount Plan & Position Registry

Positions are the approved headcount plan. Recruiters and controlling share one register instead of shadow FTE lists.

Why this is needed

  • Shadow headcount appears when hiring ignores the plan.
  • Controlling needs FTE truth by cost center.
  • Webhooks can open ATS requisitions only for approved opens.
