What is Work from Home (WFH)?

A work arrangement where employees perform their job duties from their residence instead of commuting to a company office, typically using digital tools for communication, collaboration, and task management.

Why it matters in hiring

Work from Home (WFH) 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.
