What changes for HR and Finance?
Without Basqo, workforce cost planning usually runs on a monster spreadsheet next to Personio. Finance pulls exports, HR answers data requests, and open roles drift away from the approved budget. Every planning cycle starts with consolidating Personio data, the hiring plan and payroll by hand.
With Basqo, Personio data feeds one shared plan. HR and Finance work from the same numbers, and every change in Personio shows up in the forecast. Basqo is available as an app in the Personio Marketplace.
For Finance and FP&A
All cost types per position – social charges, bonuses, benefits and special payments – plus variance analysis down to the position, split into FTE-driven and compensation-driven effects.
For HR and People
Fewer data requests from Finance, structured approvals instead of email chains, and more value from the data already maintained in Personio.
For Recruiting
Basqo also connects to Personio’s ATS, as well as Ashby, Greenhouse, Lever and many more. Open jobs from the ATS are linked to the approved positions in Basqo, so recruiting stays aligned with the budget.
For department heads
Budget owners plan their own team in Basqo, without Excel skills and without sending files around.
Good to know
Why use Basqo instead of planning in Personio?
Personio is built to run HR processes. Basqo is built for the workforce cost plan that Finance signs off: all cost types including social charges, monthly payroll actuals for reconciliation, a Finance-grade forecast with variance analysis down to the position, and freely configurable approvals. Because Basqo reads from Personio, the two work together instead of competing.
