This can be done via clicking the gear wheel Settings in the top right of the ‘Hiring Plan’ page.
Fields in this category - such as Salary, Role, etc, things like Rate Increases and Taxes can be changed too.
The Hiring Settings in Lucid Dreams provide a robust framework for tailoring your hiring plans to meet specific organizational needs. This feature allows you to either select from predefined industry templates or manually input data to create a customized hiring plan. This flexibility ensures that your hiring plan accurately reflects your company's structure, growth projections, and budget constraints.
Lucid Dreams offers industry-specific templates that streamline the process of creating a hiring plan. These templates include median salaries and a list of standard positions typical for various industries. By using these templates, companies can quickly and efficiently set up their headcount and payroll information.
These templates provide a ready-made structure with standard positions and average monthly compensations. This is specifically useful for companies that want to quickly deploy a hiring plan without extensive initial setup.
Although these templates offer a predefined structure, they are fully customizable. You can adjust the templates to better align with your company's unique requirements, ensuring that the hiring plan is tailored to your specific needs.
For organizations that prefer to build their hiring plan from the ground up, Lucid Dreams allows for manual data entry. This option provides the greatest level of customization, enabling you to input all necessary data points manually.
Starting with an empty template gives you complete control over the data you input. This is ideal for companies with unique or complex hiring structures that do not fit within standard industry templates.
