HR Glossary

What is Human Capital Management (HCM)?

A set of practices, strategies, and technologies focused on recruiting, managing, developing, and optimizing an organization's workforce.

Why it matters in hiring

Human Capital Management (HCM) 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.
