What is Staggered Hours?

A scheduling practice where employees in the same role or team start and end their shifts at different times throughout the day, extending the total hours of business coverage while giving individuals some choice over their daily schedule.

Why it matters in hiring

Staggered Hours 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.
