What is Repatriate?

An employee returning to their home country after completing an international assignment abroad, a transition that carries significant retention and knowledge-transfer risks.

Why it matters in hiring

Repatriate 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.
