What is a new hire request?

A new hire request is a formal document submitted to a company’s finance team or CFO, requesting approval to add a new hire to the team.

The request should include:

• The business case for the additional headcount
• Details of the role you’re looking to fill
• Your budget

Once approved, the finance team will release the funds necessary to cover the costs of the new hire.
