What is Holacracy?

A self-management system that replaces traditional management hierarchy with a set of distributed authority rules, organizing work into roles within nested circles rather than departments with bosses.

Why it matters in hiring

Holacracy 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.
