Hiring planning

[ ] How does our organizational structure look like (by the end of year)?
[ ] What are the business objectives?
[ ] How do I fill these role? What time do I have? How difficult is to hire this role?
[ ] Where are the gaps in our current org design?
[ ] Who can help us with headcount planning & budgeting process?
[ ] Look at the reporting lines - is the number sustainable - e.g. CEO having 15 report lines.

Example:

Role	Team	Priority	Hiring manager	Fill by date	Goal	Pipeline
Senior FE Engineer	Product Eng Telco	1 Critical 🔴	Jacob	Q1	Hiring Goal #1: Establish a team for Growth	Rue
Head of Sales	Sales	2 Important 🟠	Johny	Q1
Sr. Product manager	Product	3 on hold 🟢	Alex	Q3	Hiring goal #3: Fully staffed Product xx team

This template always helps me to prioritize.
