What is Digital Credential?

A digitally issued, cryptographically verifiable proof of qualification, certification, skill, or achievement that can be stored in a digital wallet, shared online, and verified instantly without contacting the issuing organization.

Why it matters in hiring

Digital Credential 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.
