What is Competency Mapping?

The systematic process of identifying, defining, and documenting the skills, behaviors, and knowledge required for every role in an organization.

Why it matters in hiring

Competency Mapping 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.
