Headcount Planning Shouldn't Be Hard
HeadcountHQ was born from frustration with messy spreadsheets, email chains, and approval processes that took weeks instead of days. We built the tool we wish we had when scaling our own teams.
Our Story
As former operators at fast-growing startups, we experienced the pain of managing headcount planning across multiple stakeholders. Finance wanted budget control, HR needed approval tracking, and hiring managers just wanted to hire great people quickly.
The existing solutions were either enterprise software that took months to implement or homegrown spreadsheets that broke every time someone forgot to update a formula. Neither option worked for teams moving fast.
So we built HeadcountHQ: a purpose-built tool that brings structure to headcount planning without slowing teams down. It's the perfect balance of control and speed, designed for companies that are growing and need to stay organized.
