Talent Board Announces Winners of 2018 North American Candidate Experience Awards

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Talent Board, a non-profit organization focused on the promotion and benchmark research of a quality candidate experience, today revealed the winners of the 2018 North American Candidate Experience (CandE) Awards. Two hundred companies registered to participate in the 2018 North American Talent Board CandE Awards benchmark research program, which ultimately collected the thoughts and experiences of over 130,000 job candidates.

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 not hired met or exceeded a set standard. The final analysis included four key questions that had a significant impact on determining the winners: the candidates' overall ranking of their candidate experience, the likelihood that they would reapply to the organization, whether or not they would refer other job seekers to the organization and how the candidates would change their business relationship status with the organization going forward based on their experience. The final analysis resulted in a final CandE score for each participating organization.

This year an unprecedented 65 organizations that received the highest positive candidate experience ratings in North America and the winning CandE score average this year was 13 percent higher than in 2017. We continue to see an increased focus on Candidate Experience and the value it brings to an organization.
