What is Predictive Analytics (HR)?

The use of statistical models, machine learning, and historical workforce data to forecast future HR outcomes like employee attrition, hiring needs, performance trajectories, and workforce demand.

Why it matters in hiring

Predictive Analytics (HR) 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.
