What is Buddy System?

A workplace practice of pairing new hires with experienced employees who provide informal guidance, social support, and practical advice during onboarding.

Why it matters in hiring

Buddy System 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.
