What is Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO)?

The highest-ranking HR executive in an organization, responsible for setting people strategy, advising the CEO and board on talent issues, and overseeing all human resources functions.

Why it matters in hiring

Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) 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.
