What is L-1 Visa?

A non-immigrant US work visa that permits multinational companies to transfer employees from foreign offices to US offices, available in two categories: L-1A for managers and executives, and L-1B for workers with specialized knowledge.

Why it matters in hiring

L-1 Visa 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.
