What is Chief People Officer (CPO)?

The executive responsible for an organization's entire people function, combining traditional HR leadership with a focus on employee experience, culture design, and people-centric business strategy.

Why it matters in hiring

Chief People Officer (CPO) 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.
