Create a New Manpower Plan (Project Budget)

Learn how to create a project-budget manpower plan in Recruitera — plan hiring demand for a specific project.

A Project budget plans hiring demand for a specific project, separate from your annual headcount. It uses the same wizard as a headcount budget — you just choose the project type at the start. Available to members with manpower access.

Before you start

  • Where to find it: Manpower Planning → Create new → New project budget

How to create a project budget

  1. Click Create new and choose New project budget.

  2. Project info — name the plan, set the time frame that covers the project, add an optional reference code, and choose the departments, locations, visibility, and assigned team members. Click Next.

  3. Upload the plan — download the template, add each job with its planned headcount and monthly distribution, and upload the CSV.

  4. Monthly headcount — upload actuals to track progress.

The Create new menu — New project budget

💡 Overview keeps project figures separate from annual headcount — projects are summed among themselves and never added to your annual plan.

Frequently asked questions

Is the setup different from a headcount budget?

Only the type you pick at the start. The wizard steps (info → plan upload → monthly headcount) and the template are the same — see Create a New Manpower Plan and How to Bulk-Upload Your Manpower Plan Data.
