What is Organizational Design?

The deliberate process of configuring an organization's structure, roles, processes, and governance systems to align with its strategy and enable effective execution.

Why it matters in hiring

Organizational Design 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.
