What is Orientation?

A structured introduction program for new employees covering company policies, culture, logistics, and essential first-day information.

Why it matters in hiring

Orientation 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.
