In psychology, the term tacit knowledge refers to the type of knowledge that we gain from a personal experience or through experience and that we cannot put into words most of the time, in other words we cannot verbalize it and ends up feeling more like an intuition.

In this example, Vincent has worked at the restaurant for 30 years and he cannot explain it but he just "knows" which applicant to hire. We can see that he has been on that job for a long time so he has experience and he cannot put this "intuition" into words, therefore, this is most like the result of a high level of tacit knowledge of the restaurant and the industry.
