HR Glossary

What is Allyship?

Active support and advocacy by individuals with privilege or power on behalf of marginalized or underrepresented colleagues in the workplace.

Why it matters in hiring

Allyship 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.
