What do your candidates think of you?
The annual CandE Benchmark Research and CandE Awards Program helps you and your organization measure and understand your overall candidate experience ratings from pre-application to onboarding. It also helps you understand the perception gaps between how you perceive your candidate experience delivery compared to your candidate responses, and the impact of your recruiting efforts on your business and your brand.
The CandE Benchmark Research Program has been focused on the elevation and promotion of a quality candidate experience since 2011 and delivers annual recruiting and hiring industry benchmark research.

- Provide timely feedback and have fewer candidates still waiting on next steps or any closure a month after applying.
- Provide structured interviews and have recruiters and/or hiring managers give job fit and qualification feedback to interview finalists.
- Provide timely offers to finalists as well as hiring manager calls and company culture / peer immersion for new hires prior to day one.
