Resource Planning That Actually Connects to Compensation Numbers 

Most workforce planning tools show you org charts. CandorIQ shows you what those decisions actually cost in real time, before you commit.

Forecast Headcount With Real Compensation Data

Model new roles with accurate salary bands, equity, and benefits costs. See exactly how each hire impacts your budget before posting the job. No more surprises when Finance asks where the money went.

Connect Hiring Plans to Budget Reality

Your ATS shows open roles. Your HRIS tracks employees. CandorIQ connects both of them to your actual budget. Approve headcount based on cost impact, not just FTE count.

Plan Compensation and Headcount Together

Most teams plan workforce in one tool and compensation in another. CandorIQ does both. Model a promotion? See the comp impact. Add three engineers? Know the total cost instantly.

Turn Approvals Into Workflows, Not Email Chains

Route headcount requests to the right stakeholders based on cost thresholds. Finance sees budget impact. HR tracks req status. Managers get clear yes-or-no answers fast.

Model Scenarios Before Making Commitments

Test different growth plans side-by-side. What if you hire five SDRs instead of three? How does remote-first hiring affect comp costs? Answer these questions in minutes, not meetings.
