What is Offboarding?

The structured process of managing an employee's departure from an organization, covering knowledge transfer, access revocation, exit interviews, and compliance tasks.

Why it matters in hiring

Offboarding 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.
