Presentation: "CandidateExperience: Truth, Myths and Measures"
It may be hard to believe but asmall and rapidly growing group of firms is re-examining their recruitingprocess from the point at which candidates research the firm through onboardingof new hires with the intent to treat those candidates they do not hire as wellas those they do equally. Skeptical? You should be. However, 100s of thousandsof candidates are now feeding back their experience directly to employersand…they are taking note. What we canlearn from the firms that are ranked highly by candidates and…poorly and whatthat means to your strategy to find your next job can be critical.
