HR Glossary

What is HR Best Practices?

A set of universally applicable HR policies and practices that academic research and practitioner experience have shown to consistently improve organizational performance regardless of industry or context, including selective hiring, extensive training, performance-based compensation, employment security, information sharing, and reduced status distinctions.

Why it matters in hiring

HR Best Practices 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.
