What is the candidate experience?
The Candidate Experience is the result of all interactions you have with candidates and potential candidates in the recruitment marketing and hiring process.
It refers to the overall perception and feelings that job seekers have about your organisation and its recruitment process, from social media, careers sites, job adverts, the application process to assessments, interviews, communication, feedback and the pre and onboarding experience.
It encompasses all the touchpoints and interactions between candidates and your organisation, all of which can significantly impact your brand, reputation and ability to attract and retain the best people to grow your business. A positive Candidate Experience builds trust, engagement and satisfaction, therefore increasing the likelihood of successful hires.
