In today\u2019s world of work, an increasing focus is placed on employee experience and engagement. <\/span>In their efforts to be competitive or survive in this market through the wake of <\/span>The Great Resignation<\/span><\/a>, companies are coming up with new ways to empower employees to be autonomous. Let’s talk about candidate experience.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For companies that want to be at the top of their game, it is crucial to include team members in important decisions, challenge them to grow, promote interpersonal trust on their teams, and set everyone up for success.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, the boundaries of employee experience are getting challenged, and the data silos<\/a> between <\/span>candidate experience<\/b>, employee experience<\/a>, and alumni experience are being shattered. Companies that want to stay competitive are looking across the entire spectrum. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why? It\u2019s more than the realization that <\/span>a great candidate experience will lead to increased quality of hire<\/b> or that starting off with the right foot in the employee experience might carry a certain weight later on when the going gets tough. Increasingly, companies are finding it is important to focus on all candidates\u2019 experience: the ones that are offered the job and don\u2019t accept it, the ones that are screened out in the first step, the promising ones that aren\u2019t made an offer after being selected for interviews, or the ones that are placed on a waitlist because they might still be a great fit but for a different job.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the Candidate’s Experience?<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Candidate experience is a job seeker’s perception and interaction with a company during<\/span> the hiring process<\/b>. What kind of experience are people who are applying for<\/span> jobs at your company? Ask companies, and they\u2019ll say they strive to provide candidates with a good experience. Some will dare to say they do. But a lot fewer will have data to show for it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask people applying for jobs and they\u2019ll say their experience with the application process for most companies they ever applied to has been neutral at best. In fact, some worrying trends suggest that, on average, <\/span>candidate experience is getting worse year over year<\/span><\/a>. What gives?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\t
