What is Center of Excellence (CoE)?

A specialized team of subject matter experts within an organization that develops best practices, creates standards, provides strategic guidance, and drives innovation in a specific domain such as HR, analytics, or technology.

Why it matters in hiring

Center of Excellence (CoE) 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.
