What is Action Learning?

A problem-solving and leadership development approach where small groups of 4-8 people work on real, urgent business challenges while simultaneously learning from the process, guided by a facilitator who emphasizes questioning and reflection over providing answers.

Why it matters in hiring

Action Learning comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
