HR Glossary

What is Matrix Organization?

An organizational structure where employees report to two or more managers simultaneously, typically a functional manager and a product, project, or regional manager.

Why it matters in hiring

Matrix Organization 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.
