ORG DESIGN BENCHMARKING TOOL TO HIRE THE RIGHT PEOPLE, IN THE RIGHT ROLES, AT THE RIGHT TIME
Methodology
We reviewed the people and talent-related questions we have received from our portfolio companies over the last ten years to determine the FAQs to answer in TeamPlan.
TeamPlan is based on data from 210 of the most successful tech companies – from Airbnb to Figma to Stripe – across four distinct business models.
We analyzed the hires they made, the backgrounds the candidates came from, and what the sequence was. This covered company growth from 0 - 500 headcount, and involved a data-set of over 200,000 founder and employee career profiles.
We categorized over 8,000 job titles into 16 functions, a further 33 sub-functions, and 5 managerial levels.
For founders, people leaders and finance leaders, TeamPlan helps you level up org design and make data-driven decisions about things like team growth and composition, leadership hiring, attrition, and more.
