What is Reskilling?

Teaching employees entirely new skills for a different role within the organization, typically triggered by automation, restructuring, or the creation of new positions.

Why it matters in hiring

Reskilling 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.
