HR Glossary

What is High Performer?

An employee who consistently exceeds role expectations, delivers exceptional results, and positively influences team output beyond their individual contributions.

Why it matters in hiring

High Performer 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.
