The Manpower Plan Dashboard is your control center for tracking hiring progress against approved headcount plans — all in one place.
It gives HR leaders, recruiters, and finance teams full visibility over how planned vs. actual hiring is progressing across departments, helping you stay aligned on targets and resources.
Where to Find It
From the main menu, go to Manpower Plan.
You’ll land on the Dashboard Overview, showing a snapshot of your organization’s active plans.
Overview Section
At the top of the dashboard, you’ll find your key summary metrics:
Metric | Description |
Current Candidates | Total number of employees or active hires currently recorded across all departments. |
Assigned Budgeted | The total approved headcount (budgeted positions) as per the latest manpower plan. |
Need to Hire | The remaining number of open positions required to reach your budgeted plan. |
Target Achieved | The percentage of budgeted headcount already filled — calculated automatically. |
💡 These figures update dynamically whenever you upload new headcount data or adjust your manpower plan.
Table Breakdown
Below the overview, you’ll see a breakdown of all plans and departments in your organization. Each row provides real-time insights:
Column | Description |
Title | The name of the manpower plan (e.g., Annual Plan 2025) and its related departments. |
Assigned To | Team members responsible for managing this plan or department’s hiring. |
Created Date | The date when this manpower plan was added to Recruitera. |
Current | The current number of employees in that department or job family. |
Budgeted | The total approved positions allocated in the plan. |
Need to Hire | The difference between budgeted and current — showing how many hires remain. |
Target Achieved | The percentage of completed hires versus the total budgeted target, represented visually with a progress bar. |
💡 You can click on any department to expand it and view its job-level breakdown.
Understanding “Target Achieved”
The Target Achieved column shows your real progress in fulfilling hiring needs.
It’s calculated automatically as:
(Current Headcount ÷ Budgeted Headcount) × 100
This helps you instantly see which departments are ahead, on track, or behind in their hiring targets.
✅ Example:
If the Marketing Department has 10 budgeted roles and 7 filled, the Target Achieved will show 70%.
Actions Menu
Each manpower plan includes an actions menu (⋮) where you can:
Update Headcount: Upload the latest monthly headcount to refresh your data.
Edit: Adjust plan details, department allocations, or budgets.
Delete: Permanently remove the plan if it’s no longer needed.
💡 Use “Update Headcount” regularly to keep progress accurate and align dashboards with real-time performance.
Department-Level Insights
Click any department name to drill down into its details — you’ll see:
Job-level headcount per role.

This helps department heads identify gaps and prioritize upcoming hires based on the most critical shortages.
Best Practices
