What is Flight Risk?

An employee identified as likely to voluntarily leave the organization within a defined time period, typically the next 6 to 12 months.

Why it matters in hiring

Flight Risk 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.
