What is Burnout?
A state of chronic work-related stress characterized by exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced professional efficacy, recognized by the WHO as an occupational phenomenon.
Why it matters in hiring
Burnout 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.
