Updating R&D GHPID Request Process for Backfills

Colleen Bennett requested to merge cbennett3-master-patch-93249 into master

Why is this change being made?

We are updating our process for requesting GHPID’s for hiring. In an effort to move away from multiple Slack channels and DMs, a project has been created in GitLab called R&D Headcount, containing issue templates to use when requesting a GHID, one for each common scenario (new headcount, a backfill, a transfer, etc.).
