What is People Analytics?

The practice of collecting, analyzing, and applying workforce data to improve HR decisions, optimize talent outcomes, and connect people metrics to business performance.

Why it matters in hiring

People Analytics 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.
