What is Business Continuity Planning (BCP)?

The process of creating a documented framework that ensures an organization can maintain essential functions during and after a crisis, covering everything from natural disasters and cyberattacks to pandemics and supply chain failures.

Why it matters in hiring

Business Continuity Planning (BCP) 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.
