What is HR Compliance?

The practice of ensuring that an organization's HR policies, procedures, and practices conform to all applicable federal, state, and local employment laws, industry regulations, and internal standards.

Why it matters in hiring

HR Compliance 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.
