What is Belonging?

The psychological experience of feeling accepted, valued, and included as a genuine member of a group or organization, where you can be yourself without fear of rejection.

Why it matters in hiring

Belonging 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.
