What is Conflict of Interest Policy?

A policy that requires employees to disclose situations where their personal, financial, or professional interests could interfere with their ability to act in the company's best interest.

Why it matters in hiring

Conflict of Interest 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.
