What is Pulse Survey?
A short, frequent employee survey (typically 5-15 questions) designed to track workplace sentiment, engagement, and satisfaction trends in near-real-time rather than waiting for annual reviews.
Why it matters in hiring
Pulse Survey 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.
