What is Co-Employment?

A legal arrangement in which two separate entities share employer responsibilities for the same worker, most commonly occurring in PEO relationships where the PEO handles administrative functions and the client company manages day-to-day work.

Why it matters in hiring

Co-Employment 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.
