SAN FRANCISCO, CA — March 10, 2026 — Survale, the leading “Always On” talent feedback and analytics platform, today announced it has been named a winner in the 2026 Lighthouse Tech Awards (formerly the HR Tech Awards) in the Talent Acquisition category. This prestigious recognition, awarded by Lighthouse Research & Advisory, honors technology providers that deliver measurable impact and practical innovation in the global HCM marketplace.
The Lighthouse Tech Awards recognize an elite group representing approximately 1–2% of firms in the HR technology space. Survale was selected based on its ability to solve “operational blindness” in the recruiting process by automatically gathering real-time feedback from candidates, recruiters, and hiring managers.
“AI is everywhere in today’s HR technology conversations, but what separates the winners in this year’s program is not hype,” said Ben Eubanks, Chief Research Officer at Lighthouse Research & Advisory. “It is practical, relevant innovation that helps employers solve real problems. The companies recognized in 2026 are delivering measurable value in hiring, development, performance, and retention. That is what matters”.
Redefining the “Total Talent Experience”
Survale’s platform integrates directly with core HR systems (ATS, HRMS) to trigger “pulse” feedback requests immediately after key interactions, such as interviews or onboarding. This data-driven approach allows organizations to:
- Identify Candidate Drop-off: Pinpoint exactly where and why candidates abandon the application process.
- Measure Quality of Hire: Correlate hiring manager satisfaction with new hire performance data to prevent early attrition.
- Leverage Survale AI: Utilize advanced sentiment analysis and “Ask Survale” natural language querying to uncover actionable insights instantly.
- Benchmark Globally: Compare experience scores against the industry’s most authoritative data following Survale’s 2025 acquisition of the CandE Candidate Experience Awards.
“We are incredibly honored to receive this recognition from the Lighthouse team,” said Jason Moreau, Co-Founder and CEO of Survale. “This award validates our mission to provide organizations with the ‘Always On’ diagnostic capabilities they need to align their people, processes, and technology around a superior talent experience”.
Survale will be recognized live at UNLEASH America 2026 in Las Vegas on March 19th.
