HR Glossary
What is Objectives and Key Results (OKR)?
A goal-setting framework that pairs qualitative, aspirational Objectives with quantitative, measurable Key Results, scored on a 0.0 to 1.0 scale, and typically set on quarterly cycles to align individual, team, and organizational priorities.
Why it matters in hiring
Objectives and Key Results (OKR) 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.
