Headcount
The number of people a team is allowed to employ. Usually a budget, not a count.
You'll hear it as
We've got headcount for one senior engineer next year.
Why it matters to you.
"We'd love to hire you, but there's no headcount" means the budget isn't approved, not that they don't want you.
