What is Calibration Session?

A structured meeting where managers collectively review and adjust employee performance ratings to ensure consistency, reduce bias, and create fairness across teams and departments.

Why it matters in hiring

Calibration Session 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.
