What is Knowledge Transfer?

The systematic process of capturing, documenting, and sharing a departing employee's institutional knowledge, skills, and relationships to prevent organizational knowledge loss.

Why it matters in hiring

Knowledge Transfer 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.
