What is Design Thinking in HR?

A human-centered problem-solving method borrowed from product design that HR teams use to redesign employee experiences, processes, and programs by starting with what people actually need rather than what the organization assumes they need.

Design Thinking in HR 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.
