Candidate experience
ˈkændɪˌdeɪt ɪkˈspɪəriəns
Candidate experience is the journey someone takes when applying for a job with your company, from first impression to final outcome.
Why it matters
It shapes how your brand is perceived, even by those you don’t hire. A poor experience can harm your reputation and cost you great people.
Caution:
It's not just HR’s problem. It’s a brand experience, and should feel consistent with your values.
