What is Knowledge Management?

The systematic process of capturing, organizing, sharing, and applying organizational knowledge and expertise to improve decision-making, reduce knowledge loss, and accelerate employee effectiveness.

Why it matters in hiring

Knowledge Management 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.
