What is Soft Skills Training?

Development of interpersonal abilities like communication, teamwork, emotional intelligence, and conflict resolution that determine how effectively employees work with others.

Why it matters in hiring

Soft Skills Training 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.
