NEW YORK, Sept. 12, 2024 -- ERE Media, the longest running and most trusted source for information about recruitment, talent acquisition, and talent management, and the CandE Benchmark Research Program, today revealed the 62 companies from around the world to be recognized for candidate experience excellence as winners of 2024 Global Candidate Experience Awards.

This year 125 companies hiring around the world registered to participate in the 2024 Global ERE CandE Awards Benchmark Research Program, which ultimately collected the thoughts and experiences of over 230,000 job candidates. The largest study of its kind, the CandE Benchmark Research Program has evaluated responses from over 2,000 global employers and over 1.8 million job seekers since 2011.

Winners were identified through a comprehensive data analysis based on their job candidates' satisfaction survey scores. To qualify, each company committed to a statistically significant candidate response rate, where the proportion of respondents who were not hired met or exceeded a set standard. The final analysis included four key questions that had a significant impact on determining the winners:

1. The candidates' overall ranking of their candidate experience

2. Whether or not they would reapply to the organization in the future

3. Whether or not they would refer other job seekers to the organization in the future

4. And how the candidates would change their business relationship status with the organization going forward based on their experience

The above analysis resulted in a final CandE Score for each participating organization. This year 62 organizations big and small across multiple industries will receive 74 CandE Awards due to having the highest positive candidate experience ratings in North America; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA); Asia-Pacific (APAC); and Latin America. The CandEs continue to see an increased focus on Candidate Experience and the value it brings to an organization.

"Candidate frustration and resentment is the highest we’ve ever seen in our research, and it continues to be a challenging year for recruiting and hiring professionals around the world due to leaner teams, fewer open jobs, and an increase in applications,” said Kevin Grossman, ERE Media VP of Research. “But many talent acquisition leaders and their teams in our CandE community have remained resilient and have worked hard to improve recruiting, hiring, and the candidate experience in a difficult market. We're grateful for all the companies that participated in our benchmark research this year."

Talent Board, a non-profit organization dedicated to elevating and researching quality candidate experiences, today released its 2022 North American Candidate Experience Benchmark Research Report. The report shares confidential and anonymous feedback from more than 150 companies and nearly 200,000 candidates around the world who participated in Talent Board’s research program (also known as The CandEs), which delves into every aspect of the recruiting and candidate experiences, from pre-application to onboarding.

Among the key findings from this research are:

• Candidate resentment is on the rise globally: For the second year in a row, candidate resentment (a measure of how negatively job seekers rate their candidate experiences) has risen around the world, specifically in the regions of EMEA, APAC, and Latin America. In EMEA, resentment rose 10%; in APAC, it rose 17%; and in Latin America, it was up 100%. The only region where candidate resentment didn’t rise in 2022 was North America, where resentment rates dropped by 14% (although still historically high at 12% overall).
  

• Top candidate research content for 2022: Candidates said company values was the top research content for their job search in 2022 — before they apply for a job — something that’s never been more valuable to candidates in Talent Board’s benchmark research.

• Top recruiting priorities for 2023: Participants said their top recruiting priorities for 2023 are onboarding (cited by 40%); the candidate experience (cited by 38%); and diversity/inclusion, which tied with employee referrals (both cited by 37% of participants).

The largest and longest-running study of its kind, Talent Board’s annual benchmark research has evaluated responses from more than 1,350 employers and 1.4 million job seekers since its launch in 2011. Each year, the research covers the main constituents of positive and fair candidate experiences, how well employers are delivering these experiences, and specifically what CandE Award winners (companies with the highest-rated candidate experiences) are doing better than other employers to deliver positive experiences.

“Although candidate resentment lessened during and immediately following the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s higher than ever globally,” said Kevin W. Grossman, Talent Board president. “Employers need to keep in mind that resentment has major repercussions to their brands and the bottom lines such as whether or not candidates will apply to their jobs again, whether they’ll refer colleagues and friends, whether they’ll be brand advocates, and whether they’ll buy a company’s products and services. Even in North America, where resentment levels fell slightly in 2022, they’re still high.”

“The fact that onboarding is the number one priority for TA teams in the coming year is very telling,” added Ron Machamer, Talent Board director of global programs. “Too many employers lost new hires in 2022 before they even started or shortly after day one, that’s how competitive the talent market has gotten and that’s how important it is to get onboarding right. Even our CandE Award winners wrestled with pre-boarding through onboarding this past year. It’s no wonder TA teams plan to put extra emphasis on this phase of the process in 2023.”

Other CandE Report Takeaways

A few other key takeaways from the new 2022 CandE report include:

• TA Teams Stumble on Post-Application Communication: Although timely and steady candidate communications have long been a critical component of a positive candidate experience, 34% of candidates were still waiting one to two months (or more) to hear about the next steps after they submitted an application, a troubling 48% higher than in 2021.

• Top AI-Based Tech Purchases in 2023: Many TA teams plan to make AI tech purchases in the year ahead to help improve their recruiting effectiveness. 79% plan to buy tech that removes bias from application and screening processes; 72% plan to buy tech that measures and predicts employee job-changing behavior; and 57% plan to buy tech that aids with job performance predictions through job simulations.

Talent Board will make the new EMEA, APAC, and Latin American research briefs available before the end of January.

Talent Board, a non-profit organization focused on the elevation and promotion of a quality candidate experience through its annual recruiting and hiring industry benchmark research, today released a new research report that reviewed the candidate experiences of Fortune’s 100 Best Companies To Work For to determine how fair and positive these experiences are.

The “100 Best Companies To Work For” and “Great Place To Work” are proud designations that thousands of companies strive to earn and hold onto every year. They are based on a rigorous employee experience methodology that evaluates and certifies thousands of organizations in America’s largest ongoing annual workforce study. The question Talent Board wanted to answer with this new research project was, do the 100 Best Companies To Work For also deliver fair and positive candidate experiences?

Talent Board created a comprehensive checklist for reviewing each company’s research and application stages, which their team followed to ensure consistency in each review. The results below are based on a simple point system: companies score points for having implemented practices that improve candidates’ perceptions of fairness and their positive sentiment, as revealed by Talent Board research over the years.

The review research report highlights include:

• Marketing content is important to candidates. The top 10 all-time CandE Winners provided 163% more of all the recommended marketing content in the Talent Board checklist candidates want than the 100 Best Companies to Work For (30% versus 3%).

• Candidates want to know what is going to happen next. When it comes to setting expectations after the application stage, 80% of the top 10 all-time CandE Winners provided expectations, versus only 13% of the 100 Best CompaniesPlaces to Work For.

• Only 31% of the 100 Best Companies to Work For sent Talent Board a rejection note within 2 weeks. But 40% of the all-time top 10 CandE Winners sent Talent Board a rejection note within 2 weeks, another big difference.

• The qualities that made up a great candidate experience a decade ago still make up a great experience today. And job seekers continue to crave these qualities from potential employers:

• Frequent and respectful communication

• Insights into your company and its culture

• Plenty of feedback

For 11 years Talent Board has been measuring the candidate experience at companies big and small across industries. They’ve worked with over 1,350 companies and have surveyed over 1.4 million candidates to date. Each year they give awards to companies with above-average candidate experience ratings, and only 21 companies out of the 2022 100 Best Companies to Work For, including Accenture, Capital One, Hilton, Northwell Health, West Monroe, and others have won Talent Board CandE Awards to date.

“We hypothesized that the 100 Best Companies should deliver a great candidate experience, which is something we haven’t seen reviewed before,” said Kevin Grossman, Talent Board president. “Based on what drives a positive candidate experience that we see every year in our benchmark research, after our review research was conducted, we expected to see a better overall candidate experience at these companies. And while it was, for the most part, positive and fair, many still underdelivered when compared against our highest-performing CandE Winners.”

The entire Candidate Experience Review Report: The 100 Best Companies To Work For is now available to download here.

The 2022 CandE Awards & TalentNet Live Conference will be November 2-3 in Dallas, TX, where the companies with above-average candidate experience ratings will be celebrated.

Talent Board, a non-profit organization focused on the elevation and promotion of a quality candidate experience through its annual recruiting and hiring industry benchmark research, today announced a new research project that will review the candidate experiences of Fortune’s 100 Best Companies To Work For to determine how fair and positive these experiences are.

The “100 Best Companies To Work For” and “Great Place To Work” are proud designations that thousands of companies strive to earn and hold onto every year. They are based on a rigorous employee experience methodology that evaluates and certifies thousands of organizations in America’s largest ongoing annual workforce study. The question Talent Board wants to answer with this new research project is, do the 100 Best Companies To Work For also deliver fair and positive candidate experiences?

“We hypothesize that the 100 Best Companies should deliver a great candidate experience, but as far as we know, no one has ever actually reviewed this,” said Kevin Grossman, Talent Board president. “When you do the math, we’re talking about millions of varying experiences because literally millions of candidates compete for jobs at these companies, including current employees these companies are struggling to retain these days. Based on what drives a positive candidate experience that we see every year in our benchmark research, we really want to know if the candidate experience at these companies is positive and fair, or not. We know that even when it is positive, it’s not easy for employers to sustain over time.”

For 11 years Talent Board has been measuring the candidate experience at companies big and small across industries. They’ve worked with over 1,200 companies and have surveyed over 1.25 million candidates to date. Each year they give awards to companies with above-average candidate experience ratings, and only 14 companies out of the 2022 100 Best Companies to Work For, including Accenture, Capital One, Hilton, West Monroe, and others have won Talent Board CandE Awards to date.

Once Talent Board completes their candidate experience review of the 100 Best Companies to Work For, they’ll rank the companies by research and application stages and write up their overall takeaways. They plan to release this report in conjunction with their 2022 Talent Board CandE Winner announcement in mid-September.

Talent Board (the CandEs), a non-profit organization focused on the elevation and promotion of a quality candidate experience through its annual recruiting and hiring industry benchmark research, today announced its upcoming virtual conference Creating and Sustaining an Inclusive Candidate Experience – Why DEI Strategies and Tactics Are Critical to Competitive Recruiting and Hiring Today.

Recruiting and hiring have never been more competitive. Potential job candidates want more from their jobs – more money, flexibility, development opportunities – and more belonging. This includes external and internal candidates alike. For companies that have been and are improving their diversity, equity, and inclusion strategies and tactics, this adds a layer of competitive advantage to a better candidate experience and important potential hires they may have missed otherwise.

According to the Talent Board's latest candidate experience benchmark research, the top recruitment marketing content for women and people of color included information about diversity & inclusion initiatives, company culture, and why people want to work there. This virtual conference will cover these topics and more and is free to attend. Each half-day is filled with inspirational keynote speakers, informative recruiting and hiring sessions, networking opportunities, and giveaways.

"The candidate market is more competitive than ever and providing an inclusive candidate experience is definitely a differentiator worldwide – from pre-application to onboarding," said Kevin Grossman, Talent Board president, and event organizer. “Everyone at an organization is responsible for creating a culture of belonging for their candidates and employees, and we look forward to hearing about all these themes and more come June 15-16."

Keynote: The 7 Simple Habits of Inclusive Teams

“I am beyond thrilled to serve as keynote speaker at the upcoming June virtual conference Creating and Sustaining an Inclusive Candidate Experience – Why DEI Strategies and Tactics Are Critical to Competitive Recruiting and Hiring Today,” said Melissa Majors, CEO of Melissa Majors Consulting and author of The 7 Simple Habits of Inclusive Teams. “Inclusion is much more than a moral obligation; it’s a performance accelerator and vital retention strategy. Yet, many leaders perceive inclusion as an optional soft skill, so they miss out on the business advantage of operationalizing inclusion into core processes, like recruiting and hiring. I look forward to joining the Talent Board and conducting a guilt-free, actionable examination of the most inclusive leaders and companies' tactics, best practices, and habits.”
