What is OKRs (Objectives and Key Results)?

A goal-setting framework that pairs ambitious Objectives (what you want to achieve) with measurable Key Results (how you'll know you've achieved it).

Why it matters in hiring

OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) 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.
