What is Dual Career Ladder?

An organizational structure that provides two parallel advancement tracks, one for management and one for individual contributors, allowing employees to advance in compensation and seniority without being forced into people management.

Why it matters in hiring

Dual Career Ladder 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.
