Candidate Experience Matters

  1. Attract top talent

    A good candidate experience helps attract good applicants. It is not just the posting of a job, but how a company relates with the applicants during the hiring process.

  2. Reflects the company culture

    How companies treat their applicants is reflective of the organization's culture. It may be the reason whether a candidate would want to join the company or not.

  3. First impression counts

    It is the first meeting that most candidates would have with an organization. This usually creates the impression of an organization, either negative or positive, depending on how the interviewee is treated. It discourages an organization from hiring the best talent if they do not leave a good impression. Instead, a good experience may make the difference.

  4. Damages the brand reputation

    Negative experiences at the interview stage of a candidate would damage the reputation of the company. Other people would be cautious and not approach the same organization again for a chance to be interviewed. It can also affect other business relationships as well.

  5. Improves employer branding

    It's said that a positive candidate experience elevates the employer brand of an organization, making it a more attractive company to join. It, therefore, leads to a more solid talent pool and better company performance over time.
