What is Boomerang Employee?

A former employee who leaves an organization and later returns to work for the same employer, bringing external experience and existing institutional knowledge.

Why it matters in hiring

Boomerang Employee 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.
