Case Study: IonQ accelerates hiring and headcount planning with TeamOhana

IonQ accelerates earnings growth with a data-driven headcount planning

IonQ, a publicly traded company building quantum computers, faced significant challenges with manual headcount planning. Using spreadsheets led to a lack of a single source of truth, inaccurate data, and inefficient collaboration between Finance, Talent, and hiring managers like VP of Engineering Dean Kassman. This process was costly, error-prone, and hindered their ability to make informed hiring decisions to meet ambitious growth targets, prompting them to seek a solution from TeamOhana.

IonQ implemented TeamOhana's Headcount Planning Platform to create a single source of truth by integrating with their HRIS and ATS. The solution provided dynamic org charts, collaborative planning workflows, and real-time budget tracking, empowering managers and streamlining approvals. As a result, IonQ achieved a 2x increase in hiring velocity, estimated annual cost savings of $594K, and an 80-hour monthly reduction in manual work, allowing them to accelerate technical goals and increase their earnings forecast.
