@Anonymous ,

You can create a measure with the below DAX and use for this purpose

 

running headcount = CALCULATE(COUNT('Table (2)'[Name]), FILTER(ALL('Table (2)'), 'Table (2)'[Hire Date] <= MAX('Table (2)'[Hire Date])))

Something like this? You can use date table to slice the data.

HeadCount = COUNTROWS( HireData )
Running Headcount =
VAR Result =
    CALCULATE (
        [HeadCount],
        FILTER ( ALL ( Dates ), Dates[Date] <= MAX ( Dates[Date] ) )
    )
RETURN
    IF ( [HeadCount] > 0, Result, BLANK () )
