Human resource demand forecasting can generally be divided into two categories: quantitative forecasting and qualitative forecasting.

This method usually adopts statistical analysis, time series analysis, regression analysis and other mathematical statistical methods. It can analyze and predict the trend according to the past recruitment data and employee turnover rate, so as to predict the future demand for human resources.

Qualitative prediction: Qualitative prediction relies more on expert opinions, subjective judgments and information collection, and predicts the demand for human resources through subjective evaluation of environmental factors and influencing factors. This method is often used in uncertain, complex and ever-changing environment, through interviewing internal managers, expert consultation and market research to obtain views and expectations on future needs.

Long-term forecast: Long-term forecast usually involves a long-term human resource demand forecast, such as three to five years or more. This forecast is mainly used for long-term decision-making such as strategic planning, planning organizational structure and talent reserve. Long-term prediction needs to consider the changes of macro environment, industry development trend and supply-demand relationship in talent market.

Short-term forecast: short-term forecast refers to the forecast of human resource demand in a short period of time, such as three months to one year. This kind of forecast pays more attention to the accurate forecast of the coming demand, so as to meet the rapidly changing business demand and the flexible deployment of human resources. Short-term forecasting usually involves specific projects, quarterly business plans, sales forecasts, etc.
