What is O-1 Visa?
A non-immigrant US work visa for individuals with extraordinary ability or achievement in sciences, arts, education, business, athletics, or the motion picture and television industry, with no annual cap on the number issued.
Why it matters in hiring
O-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.
