What is Confidentiality Policy?

A formal workplace document that defines what information employees must keep private, how they should handle sensitive data, and the consequences of unauthorized disclosure during and after employment.

Why it matters in hiring

Confidentiality Policy 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.
