HR Glossary

What is Development Conversation?

A focused discussion between a manager and employee centered on the employee's skill growth, career aspirations, learning plan, and long-term professional trajectory, distinct from day-to-day performance feedback.

Why it matters in hiring

Development Conversation 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.
