What is Hot Desking?

A workspace arrangement where employees don't have assigned desks and instead use any available workstation on a first-come, first-served basis when they come into the office.

Why it matters in hiring

Hot Desking 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.
